Log4J not working properly with spring boot mvc api - spring-mvc

Question

I am new to SpringBoot and I am trying to configure the Log4J but i am facing a wired behavior, please help.
This is my project structure:
enter image description here
Below is code of my files:-
Log4J2PropertiesConf:
package Log4J;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
#SpringBootApplication
public class Log4J2PropertiesConf {
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger();
public static void main(String[] args) {
logger.info("Started");
TestClass.test("Before");
SpringApplication.run(Log4J2PropertiesConf.class, args);
TestClass.test("After");
}
}
TestClass:
package Log4J;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
public class TestClass {
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(TestClass.class);
public static void test(String s) {
logger.info("IN Class Test: " + s);
}
}
Testcontroller:
package Log4J.controller;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
#Controller
public class Testcontroller {
private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(Testcontroller.class);
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/Get")
public ResponseEntity<String> GetValue() {
logger.debug("This is a debug message: Test1");
logger.info("This is an info message");
logger.warn("This is a warn message");
logger.error("This is an error message");
logger.fatal("This is a fatal message");
return new ResponseEntity<String>("Reached", HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
Log4J2PropertiesConfTest:
package Log4J;
import org.junit.Test;
public class Log4J2PropertiesConfTest {
#Test
public void testPerformSomeTask() throws Exception {
TestClass.test("from Test");
}
}
log4j2.properties:
name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = logs
appenders = console, file
appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = [%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
appender.file.type = File
appender.file.name = LOGFILE
appender.file.fileName=${filename}/propertieslogs.log
appender.file.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.file.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
loggers=file
logger.file.name=Log4J
logger.file.level = debug
logger.file.appenderRefs = file
logger.file.appenderRef.file.ref = LOGFILE
logger.file.additivity = false
rootLogger.level = debug
rootLogger.appenderRefs = stdout
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = STDOUT
That is all i am trying, I am using maven and I have all the dependencies added in pom file.
Now when I am running this as Springboot app, I am getting below on console:
[main] INFO org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.tomcat.TomcatEmbeddedServletContainer - Tomcat started on port(s): 10053 (http)
[main] INFO Log4J.Log4J2PropertiesConf - Started Log4J2PropertiesConf in 2.982 seconds (JVM running for 3.868)
2017-01-04 21:59:13.832 INFO 7544 --- [ main] L.TestClass : **IN Class Test: After**
AND I am getting below in log file at the same time:
[INFO ] 2017-01-04 21:59:10.740 [main] Log4J2PropertiesConf - **Started**
[INFO ] 2017-01-04 21:59:10.742 [main] TestClass - **IN Class Test: Before**
Now if i invoke the GetValue(http:localhost:10053/Get) method, I am getting below on console:
2017-01-04 22:02:18.531 INFO 7544 --- [io-10053-exec-1] L.c.Testcontroller : **This is an info message**
2017-01-04 22:02:18.532 WARN 7544 --- [io-10053-exec-1] L.c.Testcontroller : **This is a warn message**
2017-01-04 22:02:18.532 ERROR 7544 --- [io-10053-exec-1] L.c.Testcontroller : **This is an error message**
2017-01-04 22:02:18.532 FATAL 7544 --- [io-10053-exec-1] L.c.Testcontroller : **This is a fatal message**
AND nothing gets updated in log.
When I run the unit test, i get below in log file:
[INFO ] 2017-01-04 22:03:36.650 [main] TestClass - **IN Class Test: from Test**
So, I am expecting every log entry to go into the log file, not to console. Not sure how it is putting some information to console and some to file, although I have logger.file.additivity = false in my properties file also.
I want to have everything to go into the log file. Please help.
