Hi, Following is my deployment env:
tomcat7 |- lib/sharedLib12.jar // shared lib used by webapp1 and webapp2 |- lib/slf4j-api-1.7.7.jar, log4j-api-2.3.jar, log4j-core-2.3.jar, log4j-slf4j-impl-2.3.jar | |- webapps |-webapp1/WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml | lib/log4j-web-2.3.jar |-webapp2/WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml | lib/log4j-web-2.3.jar With servlet 3.0+ and default ClassLoaderContextSelector, it was quite simple (awesome!) to config so that log output from each webapp will be sent to it's own log file (webapp1.log, webapp2.log) But the problem is that log output from the sharedLib jar will always goto to the first loaded webapp, because: ----------> Parent Classloader: org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader@59717824 the parent classloader (the one sharedLib is loaded) will be assigned to the loggerContext of the first loaded webapp (which kinda makes sense). Question: is there a way to config so that jars inside the tomcat/lib can be logged to a common/separate logger context (or log file) that is independent of the loaded webapp? (without configure tomcat to use log4j2 as internal logger?) Thanks!
