Hello Bill and Remy
your log4j example at new doumentation works fine. Thanx! My fault I use the Logger tag instead the category one.
But that we can't change the Logger config at server.xml is not nice. The only chance is, declare a Lifecycle Listner or used the Log4J MBean direct.
Regards Peter

About logging:
- it is a mistake (nowadays) to define custom loggers in applications
(JBoss doesn't, and yet it's far more complex); of course, an equally
big mistake is to provide "logging" services in the Servlet API ;)
This is only a dream. In a hosting enviroment every customer will logging different. We offer own logfiles with the <Logger> configuartion in the context.xml. This were broken, if your changes are kept.
My greatest problem is the administration of the log4j configuration. Where - or better - how can I do this automatically. This question you don't answer? Is there a discussion done about this problem?
Well, the discussion of administering the log4j configuration belongs on [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I'm sure that the Tomcat 5.5 docs will likely have examples (and, yes, patches are always welcome :). Either that, or Ceki is going to be selling a lot of copies of his book ;-).
Your logger solution is maybe is well solution for a development or company-intern-used tomcat installation but the UseCase "Webhosting" have been ignored. If I must administrate every customer logger manually this is very counterproductively.
Actually, with the JMX support in log4j, I would guess that Remy's changes will make life much easier for the Webhosting crowd. If there is interest (meaning patches :), then the admin webapp could even be extended to help with the configuration.
- the big problem which I want to solve here is that logs are going to
different places, which is wrong; now, all logs should go to
commons-logging (or directly to the actual logger that commons-logging
is wrapping)
What do you mean with "different places". If you man different places the logs will be saved than can I say this is a normal behaviour. In Germany there is a admin tool called "Confixx". This tool saves the logs in the home directory of the user. Than the user can view and load his logs with a normal ftp-client.
Best regards Thorsten
