>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: Configurators, Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
>         Environment: multiple copies of one webapp (war file) deployed in one servlet container (e.g. Tomcat)
>            Reporter: Alexander Horz
>              Labels: configuration, documentation,

> The logging of separate instances of one webapp (war file) deployed in a joint servlet container shall be directed to separate files/directories. E.g. a "production", "demo", and "test" copy of webapp "foo.war" are deployed in a joint Tomcat, and logging of the shall be directed to ".../log/production/*", ".../log/demo/*" and ".../log/test/*" respectively.
> The only solution I have found requires replacement of ".../WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml" for each but the first webapp. However, this requires un/repackaging of the war file.
> I would like to:
> - use an unmodified war file for all instances,
> - set the "logging directory" parameter in each instance' "context" configuration file, and 
> - programmatically reconfigure the individual configuration loaded from  ".../WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml" when each instance is starting.
> Is this possible?
