Russell J. Nile commented on LOG4J2-554:
----------------------------------------
Remko,
It appears there is an inconsistency here; the log4j2 documentation specifies
to use 'log4jConfiguration'
(see:[1]http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/webapp.html#ContextParams) .
If I use the 'log4jConfiguration'and point to a physical location on my file
system it does work. The following in the web.xml works just fine.
<context-param>
<param-name>log4jConfiguration</param-name>
<param-value>file://c:/projects/SMS-CTMSApplication/CTMSApplicationServices/WebContent/WEB-INF/config/log4j2.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
I understand how Log4J2 can not be customized for the web space per se
(although the unique web-context key word 'log4jConfiguration' implies there is
some web influence, or maybe that is just left over), but I think others will
have a similar desire to do this.
I am going to see if there is an environment variable I can use that might help
me (e.g.: ${CurrentWARDirectory})
> No easy way to point to a configuration file in the WEB-INF folder

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configurators
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Environment: WildFly 8.0.0, JDK 1.7.0_45, WIn7
> Reporter: Russell J. Nile
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am trying to put all of my configuration files under WEB-INF/config folder
> but there is no way (other than an explicit reference to my file system) to
> set the log4jConfiguration to point to that. It also does not report any
> errors when it can't find the file log4jConfiguration (unless there is a URI
> reference error) so you are scratching your head when it does nothing.
