Hi Piotr, Thanks for the reminder. I did in fact do this, it had already been included in Thad’s solution.
The idea of my email was to describe changes I made to Thad’s code. I now realize that it would have been smarter (and more useful to future mailing list readers) if I had included the rest as well. So here’s my full web.xml. Together with the LogListener.java I posted earlier, this achieves what I was trying to do. ----------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"; id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1"> <listener> <!-- This listener *must* be first for log4j to work. --> <listener-class>com.mycorp.server.rest.listeners.LogListener</listener-class> </listener> <!-- See https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/webapp.html --> <filter> <filter-name>log4jServletFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.logging.log4j.web.Log4jServletFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>log4jServletFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher> <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher> <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher> <dispatcher>ASYNC</dispatcher> <!-- Servlet 3.0 w/ disabled auto-initialization only; not supported in 2.5 --> </filter-mapping> <context-param> <param-name>isLog4jAutoInitializationDisabled</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> </web-app> ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks as well for your two other suggestions. This is very much appreciated.
