System Properties set too late for logging alteration
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: MTOMCAT-53
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOMCAT-53
Project: Maven 2.x Tomcat Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-1
Environment: any
Reporter: Hasan Ceylan
Priority: Trivial
Attachments: patch.patch
As I hate the juli logging that tomcat developers insist on using, I replace
the logger to log4j as per tomcat documentation as soon as I install new one.
But maven tomcat plugin uses embedded tomcat which still makes it possible to
force log4j over juli. Except a change is needed in the source.
According to the discussion here [1] System.properties should be set as soon as
possible preferable before loading any tomcat class to prevent being too late
for logger initialization. Therefore the attached patch is needed which merely
move setupSystemProperties up before any tomcat class construction.
Also a tweak in the plugin configuration is needed as below:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<path>/</path>
<systemProperties>
<java.util.logging.manager>org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager</java.util.logging.manager>
<log4j.configuration>file://${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/log4j.xml</log4j.configuration>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>juli</artifactId>
<classifier>log4j</classifier>
<version>6.0.26</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>juli-adapters</artifactId>
<version>6.0.26</version>

<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.13</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
