Thank you for the mail info. If you are asking about wich slf4j jar i placed the slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar and slf4j-jdk14-1.5.6.jar at the root: c:\ alongside the logback.xml. The classpath variable contains a dot (.) and a ....\jre\ext\QTJava.zip. So i am not sure if the . (dot) represents the root directory og current disk or system disk where OS recide, i have os on E: and another disk c:. But anyways i did add the jars under project properties as external jars and the Test class compiles and runs without error, it just that no log file appear anywhere.<br>

<br>
Which jar files have you placed on your class path?<br>
<br>
For FileAppender the file attribute should be:<div class="im"><br>
<br>
<file>c:/testlog1.log</file><br>
<br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">

Hi i am new to slf4j and have a few questions. I could not find out how to search the mailing list for older messages that might contain this subject. And i have searched everywhere online :)..almost.<br>
<br>
1. Where do log files go when using the slf4j.Logger, f.ex;<br>
<br>
import org.slf4j.Logger;<br>
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;<br>
<br>
public class Testing {<br>
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Testing.class);<br>
<br>
public static void main(String[] args) {<br>
int value = 10;<br>
LOGGER.debug("the variable value ="+value);<br>
LOGGER.debug("The value of value = "+value);<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
I am currently using eclipse, project structure and have placed a logback.xml file under the project root folder. The logback.xml file is an example file from the slf4j homepage;<br>
<configuration><br>
<br>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"><br>
<file>"c:\testlog1.log"</file><br>
<br>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"><br>
<Pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n</Pattern><br>
</layout><br>
</appender><br>
<br>
<root><br>
<level value="debug" /><br>
<appender-ref ref="FILE" /><br>
</root><br>
</configuration><br>
<br>
No complaining about the slf4j jar files either.<br>
The small application runs fine but i suspect that my logback.xml file is not in the right place and not read at all. I have tried to put it in several locations (JAVA_HOME, path, src folder etc). to no avail. I also did a search trough the whole disc, but no such file(testlog1.log). Any ideas what i am doing wrong. By the way i am on WinXP SP2 with JDK1.6.11. Installed.<br>
<br>
Regards Tom Martin<br>
