Claudia Pastor Ramirez commented on LOG4J2-1721:
------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I am adding some extra information I have managed to collect activating the 
Debug for the log4j2 at on the Tomcat JAVA_OPTS. It seems that when there are 
two files, they are found, but nothing happens with them. These are the traces 
of the start-up with two configuration files:

!TwoConfigurationFiles.png!

It declares that has found them, but does nothing with them. Goes ahead with 
the anchors for an external library I have as a dependency. No logs are printed 
anywere (nor on the Tomcat output or the log4j2 declared ones).

When I declare a single file instead, it triggers a reconfiguration using it, 
like this:

!OneConfigurationFile.png!

The external library anchors are detected too, but before reaching that point 
there are like a hundred of traces about building pluggings ,creating filters, 
setting strategies, etc, etc (the expected). And, of course, the application 
traces are normally printed.

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

> Log4j allows multiple configuration files to be used by specifying them as a 
> list of comma separated file paths on log4j.configurationFile property. This 
> feature is not available in web environment since the  log4jConfiguration 
> context parameter accepts a single Path/File/URI.
> My proposal is to apply some small changes in the Log4jWebInitializerImpl 
> class
> - change method getConfigURI to return List<URI> instead of URI.
