I suggest to get rid all this feature (and all the static block at the top of DirectJDKLog) because
- if a user can't use system properties, he can't set the logging config file location and can't configure the console formatter overrider - if a user is setting the console formatter overrider (System property org.apache.juli.formatter), he has control over the system properties and so can configure the logging config file and have full control of the configuration - this should affect only few cases because most of the setups are using the logging.properties that ships with tomcat - java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter, the formatter that DirectJDKLog is setting, is now the default formatter in the logging.properties that ships with java On Fri, Apr 6, 2018 at 5:27 AM, Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > On 05/04/18 04:02, Clément Guillaume wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I was wondering why DirectJDKLog was overriding the Formatter of the > > Console appender when the default java logging.properties file was used. > > Because the developer who wrote it <quote>couldn't stand</quote> the > default provided by the JRE. > > > I see that this is documented at > > https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Logging > > but I would prefer to configure the logging with the file rather that > with > > system property. > > There is an example of how to do this in the logging.properties that > ships with Tomcat. > > > I see that this have been in tomcats for ages > > http://fisheye.apache.org:8060/changelog/tomcat?cs=329053 > > > > Thank you. > > > > PS: also wondered what was DirectJDKLog.SIMPLE_CFG for > > Cruft that should have been removed a long time ago. > > Mark > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > >
