Bug #: 52688 Summary: Added ability to have access logs output to standard logging mechanism Product: Tomcat 7 Version: 7.0.25 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: markclaass...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 28344 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28344 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.) -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
