Hi devs,
I'd like to propose removing the log to xwiki.log by default in our
log4j.properties file.
The rationale is:
* This is causing problems with a lot of users since by default we log in the
current directory and there are lots of cases when users start xwiki from a
directory where you don't have correct permissions
* We don't control where xwiki.log is created
Proposal:
* We only log to stdout:
** tomcat is already configured to capture stdout/stderr and to redirect them
to catalina.out
** I have a modification ready for Jetty to do the same, here it is in case you
want to see it:
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<!-- Redirect stdout & stderr to a log file -->
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<New id="ServerLog" class="java.io.PrintStream">
<Arg>
<New class="org.mortbay.util.RolloverFileOutputStream">
<Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"
default="."/>/logs/yyyy_mm_dd.stderrout.log</Arg>
<Arg type="boolean">false</Arg>
<Arg type="int">90</Arg>
<Arg><Call class="java.util.TimeZone"
name="getTimeZone"><Arg>GMT</Arg></Call></Arg>
<Get id="ServerLogName" name="datedFilename"/>
</New>
</Arg>
</New>
<Call class="org.mortbay.log.Log" name="info"><Arg>Redirecting
stderr/stdout to <Ref id="ServerLogName"/></Arg></Call>
<Call class="java.lang.System" name="setErr"><Arg><Ref
id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call>
<Call class="java.lang.System" name="setOut"><Arg><Ref
id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call>
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
