RepositorySelector should be integrated into JBoss Server
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBAS-1313
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1313
Project: JBoss Application Server
Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Stan Silvert
Assigned to: Stan Silvert
Priority: Minor
Often, an application will want to have its own log4j configuration and have
all log messages generated go to an application-specific log file. Solutions
to this problem are documented on this wiki page:
http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Logging
The log4j RepositorySelector provides a clean solution to this problem without
any special classloader settings. However, at the present time, a developer
must create his own version of a RepositorySelector and make sure his
application initializes it properly.
This can be difficult to accomplish because the RepositorySelector feature is
not well known and takes time to understand. It can also be difficult to make
sure that the RepositorySelector is initialized before the application makes
ANY call to Logger.getLogger().
We can instead, provide a RepositorySelector implementation as part of the
JBoss Application server. If a deployer finds a log4j.xml file in the
/META-INF direcotry (or /WEB-INF for WARs) it would add an entry into the
RepositorySelector for that application. Then, logging from that application
would use the custom log4j configuration.
