log4j with spring create empty file

I want to use log4j 1.2.9 with spring 4.0.1 and JBOSS 7.1 but every time i get log information on console but the file is created and empty ...

log4j.properties

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\log\\loggingFile.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n


log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout

web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Simple test Controller

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
@ManagedBean(name="MyController")
public class MyController {
    static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyController.class);
    public String test() {
    BasicConfigurator.configure();  
    logger.debug(LoginController.class);  
    logger.info("Info.. ");  
    logger.error("Error..");  
    logger.fatal("Fatal");   
      return null;
  }}

the solution was to add jboss-deployment-structure.xml in /WEB-INF to exclude org.apache.log4j 

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        dependencies -->
        <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        </exclusions>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

As your configurations look fine to me, I believe you have an extra copy of the log4j.jar in your webapp.

Moreover, why don't you use the logging subsystem present in JBoss AS 7.x? By this subsystem, you can have centralized configuration for all you want to achieve. It will be easier to maintain as well.

For this, just remove log4j.properties and import log4j/slf4j via dependencies and make sure you don't pack your own log4j/slf4j jars in your webapp.

Check out Logging Configuration for JBoss.
