Petras created TOMEE-1856:
-----------------------------
Summary: Empty log files from AsyncConsoleHandler
Key: TOMEE-1856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-1856
Project: TomEE
Issue Type: Bug
Components: TomEE Core Server
Affects Versions: 7.0.1
Reporter: Petras
Priority: Minor
{{org.apache.tomee.jul.formatter.AsyncConsoleHandler}} instantiation triggers
creation of empty log files, prefixed with "juli." (ex. _juli.2016-07-02.log_)
in _\{currentDir\}/logs/_, where _\{currentDir\}_ is folder from which TomEE
was started. Please note, not in _$\{catalina.base}/logs_ folder. As this
handler is meant for logging to the console, it is not supposed to create any
log files, is it?
The issue is that this class indirectly extends
{{org.apache.juli.FileHandler}}, which constructor invokes
{{FileHandler#openWriter}} method creating log file for writing. If directory
is not supplied via constructor parameters it creates _logs/_ folder within
current folder and new file to for output log. The fix would be to override
this method with empty body.
The only workaround is to specify location of this empty file in TomEE
_logging.properties_ ex.:
{{org.apache.tomee.jul.formatter.AsyncConsoleHandler.directory =
$\{catalina.base}/logs}}
