In the meanwhile, I found a way to work around the problem. Just for the record:
Tomcat uses plain JDK logging, so one can obtain a logger with Logger#getLogger() and change its settings before Tomcat obtains a reference. As loggers are held in WeakReferences, you only need to make sure that they are not GC'ed. (Note: I use embedded Tomcat in tests and thus can affort to hold on some Logger instances, this is probably not a good idea for production evironments) The code could look like this: static final List<Logger> loggerHolder = new LinkedList<Logger>(); Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( "name.of.Logger" ); loggerHolder.add( logger ); logger.setLevel( Level.SEVERE ); On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 18:15, Rüdiger Herrmann <rherrm...@eclipsesource.com> wrote: > ups, sorry.
