I'm currently experimenting the new features of Tomcat 5.5.2
and more precisely the logging facility.
I must confess that I'm really upset by this implementation based on log4j.
- Log4j is a *very* complex package, difficult to master. IMO it does not
make sense to use such a library : logging is meant to *help* developpers
and administrators and not to cause headaches.
The first principle of logging should be KISS (keept it stupid simple)
- There is no good documentation on how to use and configure Log4j.
The short guide by G�lc� is not useful. The complete guide is not free
(� la JBoss).
- I've spent a lot of time browsing the FAQ, the Wikis, turning around
many interconnected sites but without finding answers to my questions.
- There is only one (actually 2) document : the tips written by Geoff Mottram.
Well, having given my opinion I feel better ;)
More specifically here is my question :
How to define my log4j properties to obtain what I had with the old plain
Logger ?
<Context path="/try" docBase="try.war" override="true" swallowOutput="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="try-" suffix=".log"
timestamp="true" />
</Context>
I've tried some variations of the following definitions but without success :
log4j.appender.L.File=/home/myself/soft/Tomcat/logs/try.log
log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.Catalina.localhost.try=INFO,L
(the last component the path is not very clear "try" or "/try" or something
else)
Basically I do not really care about levels but I do want a file by context.
Sincerely,
--
