Hi All,
following instructions of
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/advanced/logging.html
In geoserver version RC 2.0.3, version web archive deployed on jboss
(.war) I'm  trying to separate the location of the logs from the data
directory (good server practice), but the geoserver refuses to use
other than GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/data/logs/geoserver.log

I've tried setting in the web.xml:
     <context-param>
       <param-name>GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION</param-name>
        <param-value>/var/log/jboss/geoserver.log</param-value>
    </context-param>

And also as global variable. The strange thing is that setting an
external GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR works perfectly, as also works in my
windows desktop configuration.

> echo GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/usr/local/jboss/geoserver_data_dir/ >> 
> /etc/bash.bashrc
> echo GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION=/var/log/jboss/geoserver.log >> /etc/bash.bashrc
> source /etc/bash.bashrc
when I do:
> echo $GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION

it prints the right one:
/var/log/jboss/geoserver.log

And if I modify the run.sh that starts jboss, this echo also shows the
correct variable....
any ideas why it is not working?
Thanks in advance!
