Diff of AccessLogValve patch
The current AccessLogValve implementation uses a custom file writer instead of
the normal log mechanism. There are circumstances where it would be nice to
have the power and flexibility of the standard logging capabilities.
This was briefly discussed in a email thread with subject 'AccessLogValve
enhancement' from 2.15.2012
Attached is a proposed patch to add this capability, however I think it is
still up for debate if this is a good enhancement. This would be an option
that people wouldn't have to use.
I believe it will work for me and is hopefully generally useful (otherwise it
doesn't make a good enhancement and is just clutter.) Earlier, I was trying
to see how to do this by searching on the web and I found several others asking
the same thing. So, I think there are many others who at least think they want
this feature.
Issues:
* (Potential performance, as mentioned previously)
* "common" pattern for AccessLogValve includes timestamp, which is also often
included in log record headers.
* header messages (#VERSION, #FIELDS:, #SOFTWARE) won't repeat in log files,
and are not
necessarily useful in the initial one. (#FIELD is null, presumably because
its attribute was later in my server.xml file.)
