Why is it what I'm trying to do not working though? It seems that my MyLog.getLogger function does find the correct logger name, and that Logger.getLogger() is always using the the first log4j.properties that was found.
Yeah, I had tried something like this, namely to have a class AbstractMyLog in the common folder, and a class MyLog in each of the webapps that derives from AbstractMyLog so as to minimize code changes. But then the common code also needs to write to the log file, and it should use the log file of the web application that called it. The other ideas I had are: (1) Pass a logger from the webapp to the common code -- ie. to add a Logger argument to all the functions in the common code, but this sounds tedious. (2) In each webapp have a filter that sets a thread local variable like ThreadLocal<Logger> threadLogger. --- On Tue, 1/13/09, Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > From: Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> > Subject: RE: How to have multiple loggers with shared code also using the > logger? > To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 6:21 AM > > From: removeps-gro...@yahoo.com > [mailto:removeps-gro...@yahoo.com] > > Subject: How to have multiple loggers with shared code > also > > using the logger? > > > > How to have multiple loggers with shared code also > using the logger? > > In ${catalina.home}/lib there is a jar file that > contains class MyLog. > > "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this." > > The simple fix is: don't do it.
