Many Thanks for the link Chuck! Here's what I did.
1. Created a directory named c:\Tomcat\abc\ROOT.
2. Moved the previous contents of c:\Tomcat\webapps\abc to
c:\Tomcat\abc\ROOT directory.
3. Created c:\Tomcat\abc\ROOT\META-INF\context.xml. Here's that file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/ProgressDatabase"
name="jdbc/ProgressDatabase" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>
4. Changed c:\Tomcat\conf\server.xml to
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host
<Host name="abc.local" appBase="abc" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
End Result is:
1. Spring Context loader is loaded only once (Great!).
2. But the web application logging is working wierdly.The log entries
are written to c:\Tomcat\logs\xyz.log (i.e. the xyz web application's
log) instead of writing to c:\Tomcat\logs\abc.log. .
Here's the c:\Tomcat\abc\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties file.
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, A2
log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy MMM dd / HH:mm:ss}
%-5p - [%c] : %m %n
log4j.appender.A2.File=c:/Tomcat6/logs/trestlewood.log
log4j.appender.A2.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.A2.MaxBackupIndex=4
Please advise!
Thank you!
Joe
