Hello AjChen, Here [1] you can find an example of how I configured log4j2 in tomcat 9. You can skip all the bla, bla, bla and go directly to the gitthub repo [2] and run the example to have a look at the configuration.
Note: I've been running like this for a while in production, but I do think that I am going to come back to the default, beautiful and simple JULI :) Hope it helps, Luis [1] https://db-blog.web.cern.ch/blog/luis-rodriguez-fernandez/2019-03-keeping-your-logs-clean-apache-tomcat-9-log4j2-and-spring-boot [2] https://github.com/lurodrig/log4j2-in-tomcat/ El jue., 7 may. 2020 a las 23:48, Christopher Schultz (< ch...@christopherschultz.net>) escribió: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA256 > > AJ, > > On 5/7/20 16:40, AJ Chen wrote: > > I use eclipse to develop web app for tomcat, Web app has a > > dependent project and so the dependent project and all jars are > > added on the classpath for tomcat runtime.
