Hi Everyone
Does anyone know how to configure Tomcat such that logging writes to
separate log files for each web application? When we deploy several
instances of our web application, for some reason, the logging output
from all web applications is merged into a single debug.log file.
Apparently, Tomcat uses an extended the log4j package (JULI) to support
logging across multiple web applications, but we are unsure on how to
activate it. I have a feeling we may not be using the right
packages/configuration and would appreciate your guidance.
In our example, each web application has its own log4j.properties file
stored in WEB-INF/classes. The log4j.properties file specifies an
appender with the the location of the debug.log file as follows:
log4j.appender.archivadebug.File=${catalina.home}/logs/debug.log
Even if we specify a different file name for each web application, it
only seems to pickup the first one. It combines logging output from all
web applications into a single log file. Any ideas on why this might be
the same?
Throughout my web application code, I use the following:
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
..
protected static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Config.class);
..
logger.debug("this is a test log output");
The jar log4j-1.2.14.jar is bundled with the web application and is
located in WEB-INF/lib
How does one make it such that each web application will have its own
log file? For example, say I had the web applications webapp1, and
webapp2 - the debug log file for each could be debug-webapp1.log and
debug-webapp2.log, respectively. Do I need to
import catalina's version of log4j? What is the import line?
Many thanks in advance for your guidance
Jamie
PS: My log4.properties file located in WEB-INF/classes currently looks
like this:
