             Summary: Howto individually configure logging for separate 
instances of a webapp (war file)?
                 Key: LOG4J2-185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-185
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Configurators, Documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
         Environment: multiple copies of one webapp (war file) deployed in one 
servlet container (e.g. Tomcat)
            Reporter: Alexander Horz


The logging of separate instances of one webapp (war file) deployed in a joint 
servlet container shall be directed to separate files/directories. E.g. a 
"production", "demo", and "test" copy of webapp "foo.war" are deployed in a 
joint Tomcat, and logging of the shall be directed to ".../log/production/*", 
".../log/demo/*" and ".../log/test/*" respectively.

The only solution I have found requires replacement of 
".../WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml" for each but the first webapp. However, this 
requires un/repackaging of the war file.

I would like to:
- use an unmodified war file for all instances,
- set the "logging directory" parameter in each instance' "context" 
configuration file, and 
- programmatically reconfigure the individual configuration loaded from  
".../WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml" when each instance is starting.

Is this possible?
