Hi,
should log4j-web.jar be packaged in individual web app WEB-INF/lib or can it be
deployed in tomcat/lib (to be shared by several web apps)?
Tested with log4j2 v2.6 and latest v2.9.1, and noticed that it seems to work
either way when a webapp is first deployed. BUT if having a log4j2.xml
configured like:
<Configuration monitorInterval="10" status="warn" verbose="true">
<Appenders>
<File name="APP_LOGFILE" fileName="logs/${web:contextPath}.log"/>
</Appenders>
when the webapp, say, MyApp is loaded, it will correctly use the
web:contextPath lookup and create a MyApp.log file. But after modifying the
log4j2.xml log level, the configuration will get reloaded as expected, BUT then
instead of logging to the original MyApp.log file, it will create a
${web:contextPath}.log
file and logging to that new file.
That problem only happens if the log4j2-web.jar file is put in tomcat/lib,
instead of packaged in MyApp/WEB-INF/lib
So just want to confirm if log4j-web.jar should always be packaged in
WEB-INF/lib?
thanks!
Bill
