Difficulties enabling the logging for ICEFaces & ICEPush

Hi,
I'm trying to enable the logging for ICEFaces & ICEPush to see if my PortableRenderer etc throw any errors, but it looks like I'm doing something wrong.
I added a commons-logging.properties in the docroot/WEB-INF/src Folder (same folder my JAVA Packages / Files are in) and a log4j.properties.

commons-logging.properties:
Code:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

log4j.properties:
Code:

log4j.rootLogger=FINEST
 
 log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
 log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
 log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss}] %-5p [%F:%L -- %M] - %m%n
 
 log4j.logger.com.icesoft.faces.application.D2DViewHandler=FINEST, stdout
 log4j.logger.com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener=FINEST, stdout
 log4j.logger.org.icepush=FINEST, stdout
 log4j.logger.org.icepush.application.PushRenderer=FINEST, stdout
 log4j.logger.org.icepush.application.PortableRenderer=FINEST, stdout
 log4j.logger.org.icefaces=FINEST, stdout

I know finest is overkill, but I just wanted to get any logging output at all. Yet I don't get any, except the output of some liferay logging (those I don't need and their output hasn't change through the config at all, just fyi)

As you see I use the liferay Portal for my Portlets.

Help is appreciated :)

Quick edit: I tried the settings I found here: http://jforum.icesoft.org/JForum/posts/list/2453.page
But it didn't help at all :(

ICEfaces uses java.util logging. We ship an example file with our showcase-portlet demo that you should be able to use and modify to meet your needs. You can find it under:

./icefaces/samples/showcase/showcase-portlet/src/main/resources/logging.properties

Thanks for the quick reply, it helped a little bit, but my problem isn't completely solved. In the example file you mentiod there's just:
Code:

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler
 
 .level = INFO
 
 java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
 java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = INFO
 
 java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

I did set .level to "FINEST" which naturally spammed my console as soon as is restarted Tomcat. So I turned that off again.
Now I have the following config in the file:
Code:

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler
 
 .level = INFO
 
 java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST
 java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = INFO
 
 java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
 
 com.icesoft.level = FINEST
 org.icefaces.level = FINEST
 org.icepush.level = FINEST

Those are the packages I saw earlier and I just wanted to get any output at all .... but still nothing.

If you are adding in the specific packages, then try removing the .info entry.

Ah got it now. Had the file at the wrong location.
I had the file on D:\logging.properties and set Tomcat to start with that file, so Tomcat used the file for itself but ICEFaces and all other stuff didn't. After I coied the file in the root of my source directory it worked. Did that before but must have had another error back then 'cause at that time that didn't work either ... .

So all in all don't be stupid like me and just create a file in the source dir and everything's fine.
Thanks deryk anyway :).

Good Day,

may we all understand that org.icepush, org.icefaces, com.icesoft components :
1/ up to 1.8.x where using Apache commons-logging "logging engine API" (commons-logging.properties to the src folder)
2/ and from 2.0.x they are re-coded to use java.util.logging "logging engine API" (-Djava.util.logging.config.file=\path\to\logging.properties)

??
if so, this would made world greater to write it simply
