log4j2 fails to write to file

Question

Ideally, I would like to log everything during development on a localhost and to log only errors on the live server. I am having trouble logging to files on my development platform (Windows 10, Java with Wicket).

log4j2.xml

I have managed to get some logs written to my tomcat's logs folder.

Only some of my messages are appearing. I do not know what symbols are significant and what are not.

The base page for publicly accessable pages logs the subclass.

public class PublicBasePage extends WebPage
{
    protected static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(PublicBasePage.class);

    public PublicBasePage()
    {
        super();

        logger.info(this.getClass().getName());
    }
}

[INFO ] 2017-10-19 17:07:13.208 [http-nio-8080-exec-57] PublicBasePage - com.linguaclassica.access.HomePage The base page for the private web pages logs a message.

public class PrivateBasePage extends WebPage
{
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(PrivateBasePage.class);

    public PrivateBasePage()
    {
        super();

        logger.debug("()");
    }
}

[DEBUG] 2017-10-19 17:12:05.662 [http-nio-8080-exec-62] PrivateBasePage - ()

However, messages for the private page do not get logged to a file or to the console.

public class ClientLandingPage extends PrivateBasePage
{
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(ClientLandingPage.class);

    public ClientLandingPage()
    {
        super();    

        logger.info("(info)");
        logger.debug("(debug)");
        logger.warn("(warn)");
    }
}

I do not understand what is failing.

Answer 1

OK, this was careless. ClientLandingPage is obsolete and was never called, being replaced by shared/CommonOverviewPage. I changed the declarations to

private Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(SomethingPage.class);

and the logs seem to come out as I want them.

Yesterday's logs have the date appended to the file name.
