巧为tomcat插件配置log4j日志，解决未报错启动不成功

前情摘要

源于Maven项目中整合SSM框架后，运行一个根据商品id查询商品信息的Demo来测试是否整合成功。

在pom文件中配置好Tomcat插件，启动tomcat，如果成功，输出信息如下：

May 07, 2017 11:30:01 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol init
INFO: Initializing ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"]
May 07, 2017 11:30:01 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService startInternal
INFO: Starting service Tomcat
May 07, 2017 11:30:01 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine startInternal
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/7.0.47
May 07, 2017 11:30:04 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: No Spring WebApplicationInitializer types detected on classpath
May 07, 2017 11:30:04 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext
-------------------这是分割线-----------------------------------------
May 07, 2017 11:30:06 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet 'e3-manager'
May 07, 2017 11:30:07 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start
INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"]

而我碰到的问题是，分割线以下的信息没有输出，也就是启动失败。

但是没有报错信息，tomcat的日志文件夹内也没有文件存在，这就有点像谜之bug。

解决办法

受到一篇博客的启发，在tomcat中配置log4j，查看更详细的日志。

但是我使用的是tomcat的Maven插件，找到的资料较少，最终在万能的stackoverflow找到配置方法。

<!--配置tomcat插件-->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<path>/</path>
<port>8080</port>
<!--log4j配置文件位置-->
<systemProperties>
<log4j.configuration>file:src/main/resources/log4j.properties</log4j.configuration>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>

但是最后一个问题，我不懂配置文件怎么写的，就找了这篇博文，复制了其文中贴出的配置内容。

后记

最终在日志文件内找到了错误原因，mybatis逆向工程生成的xml文件命名空间错了。

这件事告诉我们，文件生成之后要去看一眼，确认一下。

同时也发现，tomcat的官方文档，为tomcat配置log4j的内容：

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j

不过Maven插件的配置我第一次看的话，也不会想到是在那里配置，其中systemProperties标签就是指定配置文件，好奇为啥他们能知道那里就算配置log4j文件的。

http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.2/run-mojo-features.html
