Hi Steve,
I can set the position of my log4j.config.xml in the classpath so the
log4j.config.xml can be placed everywhere - right?
So I define my appender like this:
<appender name="client" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="\\logs\\client.log"/>
And make a directory /logs under /WEB-INF.
Do you think it will work this way?
I haven´t much success with testing! :(
Thanks Thomas
PS: Thank you for your tip with config, you are right!

Hi Thomas,
Your log4j properties file only needs to be located via the class path so in
your case it should be put in the WEB-INF/classes directoy. Else you have
specified a path somewhere (probably in a servlet property in your web.xml
file)
You should not be putting your context logging into the Tomcat log
directory.
This directory contains logs for the tomcat server and not your web context.
I suggest that you create a log directory in your WEB-INF directoy and use a
relative path for your log file as log.
Anything you put under the WEB-INF directy is unavailable to clients of your
web context and it keeps all your contect information in one place.
If you still want to use a config directy and identiy this in your web.xml
file
then I also suggest it goes under the WEB-INF/config directory. Otherwise
you
run the risk of not configuring Tomcat correctly and allowing directories
within your web context to be traversed by clients and they can then see the
contents of your configuration and logs.
Regards
Steve
