Best Place to place log files
Hi All,
I am working on a webapplication and it is going to use looging in good way
for its import export process.so we need to store log files at some place so
that when ever some needs to consult logfiles can do that.
One thing we can do is to create afolder in the webapps and place alll such
related files in this location but this approach seems to have one major
issue the moment we deploy a new war all previosu logs will be deleted and
we are lost.
my question is in such case what is the best place to store your application
related log files?

I would say that where you place the logs is not as important as how
that location gets configured for the webapp. Two things to AVOID are 1)
requiring the app to be reconfigured whenever a new war is deployed and
2) hard coding the location of the logs and/or the log4j configuration.
You can usually get around these by setting system properties or setting
variables in the JNDI environment provided by the web container. System
properties are not as desirable since they're exposed to ALL webapps in
the container.

Thats seems good and i guess for virtual hosting/dedicated hosting that will
not create a big issue for rights and permissions ,atleast i hope so

Hi
i think everybody does it in a different way, but the $tomcat/webapps
dir is probably not the best for the mentioned reasons. You could put
it in $tomcat/logs/yourwebapp or even in /var/log/webapp
Later case needs more rights.
Cheers

For running inside GlassFish I found that the simplest way was to
channel the log events to java.util.logging which GlassFish both handles
and provide a web interface for. From log4j you can either write an
appender mapping to java.util.logging, or use slf4j modules to channel
log4j->slf4j->java.util.logging.
