There is something wrong with your log4j or slf4j config - the framework is unable to obtain the root logger repository

Hello,

thank you for reply.

May you have an idea how to check it? Is there a way to enable more details on obtaining the root logger repository?

Hi Oleg,

please add the following in the setDomainEnv.sh for the weblogic domain:

EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="-DiscUseSlf4j=true"
export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES


This works for me.

@thorsten-haefner, I am getting an issue similar to this and I have used only log4j-1.2.9.jar. So, can you please suggest the lines that I will need to include in the setDomainEnv.sh file? Thanks in advance.
