Sorry if resurrecting the dead is frowned upon here but I thought I would
just add my resolve to this. Honestly, after writing a lot of code
otherwise, logging was probably the most frustrating.
Tomcat 7.0.42, RHEL 6
1. SL4FJ with Logback works beautifully.
2. I have custom error pages in web.xml that redirect various exceptions to
servlets. The servlets capture the exceptions and write them out to
different logs using SLF/Logback.
3. The default logging.properties is completely commented out. Note:
deleting it is different than it being empty.
4. Since spymemcached logging is baked in, I added SLF as its logger in my
ContextInitialized listener:
// set SLF4J as the logger for spymemcached
Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
systemProperties.put("net.spy.log.LoggerImpl",
"net.spy.memcached.compat.log.SLF4JLogger");
System.setProperties(systemProperties);
ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger logger =
(ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger)
LoggerFactory.getLogger("net.spy.memcached");
logger.setLevel(Level.ERROR);
Cheers,
Alec
