How to create logs in XML format using Log4j

1)Create a project in Eclipse

2)Create a file - log4j.properties and paste the following content in it

# Define the root logger with file appender
log4j.rootLogger = DEBUG, XML

# Define the file appender
log4j.appender.XML=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.XML.File=application.xml

# Define the xml layout for file appender
log4j.appender.XML.layout=org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout
log4j.appender.XML.layout.LocationInfo=true
log4j.appender.XML.Threshold=DEBUG

3)Create a sample class to log

(Make sure log4j jar file is added in the build path)

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class Log4j_and_Xml
{
    static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Log4j_and_Xml.class);

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        log.debug("This is debug message");
        log.info("This is info message");
        log.error("This is error message");
        log.fatal("This is  fatal message");
    }
}
Refresh the project to find the application.xml file
That's it, run the program and all logs will be created in XML format
