NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Log4perl - Catalyst plugin to initialize Log::Log4perl from the application's configuration

SYNOPSIS

  # in MyApp.pm

  use Catalyst qw/ ConfigLoader Log::Log4perl /;
  use Catalyst::Log::Log4perl;

  ...

  __PACKAGE__->log( Catalyst::Log::Log4perl->new );

  __PACKAGE__->setup();


  # in myapp.yaml

  name: MyApp
  Plugin::Log::Log4perl:
    conf: '__HOME__/log4perl.conf'
    watch_delay: 60 # optional

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to initialize Log::Log4perl within the application's configuration. This is especially useful when using Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader to load configuration files. It is meant to be used in conjunction with Catalyst::Log::Log4perl, but can also be used stand-alone.

CONFIGURATION

conf

This will be passed directly to Log::Log4perl->init(), so it can be anything that that method can support. This includes the name of a configuration file or a HASH reference. See the Log::Log4perl documentation for more information.

watch_delay

If this is present, Log::Log4perl->init_and_watch() is used for Log::Log4perl initialization with the given delay.

BUGS

If Catalyst::Log::Log4perl is used, this module will re-initialize Log::Log4perl which is not recommended. This is unavoidable, though, since your application's logger is configured prior to running MyApp->setup().
