> Subject: default log4j.xml for apps
>
>
> Although we use jBoss for our servers, I use Tomcat for development because
> of its much faster restart and better integration with Eclipse. The
> applications reuse certain components heavily and thus rely on the presence
> of a central log4j.xml to control the logging level for those components
> (which in jBoss' case is jBoss' jboss-logj.xml).
>
> And here comes my problem. I don't particularly care if Tomcat logging
> continues using its current approach, since it is already fairly silent.
> But I have to have a central log4j.xml available with default logging
> configuration for all of the apps. How can I do this in Tomcat?
