RE: Tomcat security stopping log4j write to a file

2004-10-19 Thread Shapira, Yoav

Hi,
Two options come to mind.  Either

You're running with a SecurityManager and your java.policy file doesn't
specify a write permission into WEB-INF/logs.

Or you've misconfigured log4j.  If this is the case, post your log4j
configuration file and we can help you although that's a bit off-topic
for this list.

Subject: Tomcat security stopping log4j write to a file

I want log4j to write its output to the webapps/[application
dir]/WEB-INF/logs directory. The log4j properties file is located in
the WEB-INF/classes directory, as specified.

Monitoring trace of log4j's process, shows log4j is unable to find
(create) the requested files.

I believe Tomcat is not allowing the application to write into
WEB-INF/logs subdirectory. How do I direct Tomcat to allow this
functionality?


Tomcat 4.1.30

Thanks

take a look at catalina.policy in the conf directory, in the file
you can find some examples.
