java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot parse pattern for log back

I am getting this error in my application which is running on EMR
Here are few details about this error
It is not consistent. This error comes once in while (in two days or in a week also).
We have tried building JARs from Local /Jenkins/Maven but no luck. Still this errors appears.
Verified class in the JAR file and it is present at correct location.
It does not look like corrupted jars or class not present issue as this error is not consistent.
Here is the complete stack trace

Location of logback default file appender

I have a J2EE web application with logback as the logging function
and use Tomcat 7 as the server.
I am using the logback ConsoleAppender right now, so I can go to
/var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out to check the log.
Right now, I want to move the log into a file. I will use a RollingFileAppender to save the log.
I DO NOT want to use a absolute path like:
<appender name="FILE" class="xxx.RollingFileAppender">
<file>/var/log/testFile1.log</file>
<encoder>
<pattern>%msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
I DO NOT want to use a system environment variable, either, like:
<appender name="FILE" class="xxx.RollingFileAppender">
<file>{LOG_LOCATION}\testFile2.log</file>
<encoder>
<pattern>%msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
If I only write the name of log file in the tag, like:
<appender name="FILE" class="xxx.RollingFileAppender">
<file>testFile3.log</file>
<encoder>
<pattern>%msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
I will receive the error:

Can I create a log file only with its name?
And if so, where is the default location for the logback log file in Tomcat 7 server?

You want a relative path. Specify <file>./testFile3.log</file>
Check where this gets created by running once.
Note that this could be relative to the location used for launching the application.

How to get the errors message with spring mvc in tomcat's catalina.out

I request a test link https://terran.gamebox.com/facebook/issueOrder.jhtml?amount=5&gameId=1&serverId=1&role=role
I can see the message in page
but the exception did not show in catalina.out
This is my configure file
<bean id="exceptionResolver" class="com.gamebox.HandlerException">
HandlerException implements HandlerExceptionResolver
I must point that I can get the other controller's exception such as null pointer exception
I guess it's a spring internal exception, but I need capture all exception in catalina.out file.
I create a #Service dependence in a #Controller, then delete the #Service's class file.
When I started the tomcat, everything is OK, I request this controller, I got the exception message, but the catalina.out show nothing. The tomcat ran in Run mode.
I paste the response message, because this mvc's action will fix next day with this bug, but I will trace nothing in my platform when I use a ajax with mvc in future if it doesn't show in catalina.out and I will be defficult to find nothing.
I am sure it involved transactionManager

All system out/error will go to catalina.out by default. Don't use System.out.println, use a logging API and configure your logger to write to the console.
If you are using something like logback, in your application just consider it to write to console:
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- encoders are assigned the type
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="debug">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>
to tame spring messages, you can remove commons-logging and use slf4j to route spring into the same logging. See this article
http://www.codingpedia.org/ama/how-to-log-in-spring-with-slf4j-and-logback/
That should help improve visibility and give you your goal of getting everything into catalina.out.

Finally, I find the solution and I am very satisfy.
Only one changed, edit the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/logging.properties file then locate this line:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].handlers = 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler
Append , java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler to this line.
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].handlers = 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
All exceptions will be write to catalina.out file.^_^

Tomcat can't instantiate org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter class

I put log4j.properties in the WEB-INF/classes directory as many SO users suggested in other answers to other questions.
I put slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar, slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar, log4j-1.2.16.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
My properties file is the following:
log4j.rootLogger = INFO,infoAppender,errAppender
log4j.appender.infoAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.infoAppender.File= D://logs//info//info.log

log4j.appender.infoAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.infoAppender.layout.conversionPattern=%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %5p %m%n
log4j.appender.infoAppender.filter.infoFilter=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.infoAppender.filter.infoFilter.LevelToMatch=INFO
log4j.appender.infoAppender.filter.infoFilter.AcceptOnMatch=true
log4j.appender.infoAppender.filter.2=org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter
log4j.appender.errAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.errAppender.File= D://logs//error/err.log
log4j.appender.errAppender.DatePattern='_'dd-MM-yyyy
log4j.appender.errAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.errAppender.layout.conversionPattern=%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %5p %m%n
log4j.appender.errAppender.filter.errFilter=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.errAppender.filter.errFilter.LevelToMatch=ERROR
log4j.appender.errAppender.filter.errFilter.AcceptOnMatch=true
log4j.appender.errAppender.filter.2=org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter
I personally think that problem is in classpath-like issues but all .jar files and .properties file are in the correct place. At least, it's correct according to many related posts that I found.

i met this question too, finally i find the root lies in log4j.properties file. you have extra space in your properties file. just like your exception points out: log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate class [org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter ]
no extra space expected after LevelMatchFilter.
Here is mine
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.filter.a=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.stdout.filter.a.LevelToMatch=INFO
log4j.appender.stdout.filter.b=org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter

OK, I found solution. Use log4j.xml instead of log4j.properties.
Hm, looks strange. I know that only xml supports filters. But I also read in some SO answer that log4j.properties file supports filters for 1.2.16 version. Anyway I recommend use xml.

log4j DEBUG log logging to catalina.out but not in file in unix

I implemented log4j logging in my JSF application.My log4j.properties file is like this
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, fileout
#----------------------------- All logging to console-----------------------------
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] [%t] %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# ------------------------------ All Logging to File------------------------------
log4j.appender.fileout = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileout.layout.ConversionPattern = [%d] [%t] %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.fileout.File = ${catalina.home}/logs/Portal-alllogs.log
log4j.appender.fileout.MaxFileSize =2MB
log4j.appender.fileout.MaxBackupIndex =2

Are you sure the exception is actually LOGGED to stdout, not just PRINTED to stdout? Can you spot the conversion pattern working on what you get to your console?

It may be a permissions problem - check the owners and permissions of the ${catalina.home}/logs directory.

Do you catch that exception in your code and handle it, that is log it? If not, why do you expect to show up in your log?

If it's not a permissions problem: verify that ${catalina.home} resolves to where you think it does -- try using a "raw" absolute path to rule that out.
