shameless WebLogic question

I have Hibernate setup to log SQL and debug info via my log4j.properties. All of this information is going to my console. However, I'd like it to also go to the WL log file. Logging level in WL is set to info but I don't see any Hibernate messages in there. Is any familiar with how I can capture all stdout messages in WL's log or is there a way to redirect it there via log4j?

I'm using WL 8.1.

Thanks.

I don't know of any way to tell weblogic to append stdout messages to its logger nor of a way to tell log4j to do so (weblogic has a proprietary logging api).

In fact I've never felt the need to use the weblogic logger, except when I'm writing a module to plug in (startup classes mainly) but this could be possible by writing a log4j appender that would forward logs to the WL logger using its internal API.

Have a look at http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/javadoc ... ogger.html

I think you are right. I finally found something in the WL docs regarding sending stdout to a file. This helps. In 8.1 you can add

-D WebLogic.Stdout="myfile.log" to JAVA_OPTIONS

Is there a command line argument you can specify for log file rotation as well?
