[opencms-dev] Send opencms exceptions by mail

[java at herr-der-mails.de]

Hi all,

we're trying to set up logging in OpenCms in such a way that any messages that are logged on ERROR level and any exceptions thrown in OpenCms code are being sent to a tech support account by mail.

The tried approach was to add a new root logger "MAILLOG" in WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties such as follows:

log4j.rootLogger=\
	ERROR,\
	OC,\
	MAILLOG

...

log4j.appender.MAILLOG=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.threshold=ERROR
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.From=from at mysite.com
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.To=from at mysite.com
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.Subject=Error in XXX Application
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.SMTPHost=xxx
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.SMTPPassword=xxx
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.SMTPUsername=xxx
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MAILLOG.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n

but no luck. 

Anybody any idea why ? 

Thanks
holger
