I've been asked to host a couple of tomcat thirdparty webapps which all have either logging.properties or log4j configurations (internally).
My question is, as a sysadmin who only gets to run the tomcat container, can I override all the logging configurations of my apps. For example, I dont use disks to log, I use syslog, and want to force all tomcat logs to go over syslog. I've read all the docs on JULI and log4j, and my head has exploded, and I appreciate there are ways to do this in the properties file of the app itself. However, I can't change the apps, and want to override all at the container level. Is this possible? I can't imagine that it wouldn't be. Hope this isn't too much of a n00b question.
