[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-4104) Tomcat logging is broken

Tomcat logging is broken
------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4104
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4104
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
            Reporter: Kevan Miller
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.1.2


Tomcat logging seems to be broken. When deployment errors occur, the root causes aren't being logged. This makes problems hard to diagnose.

I suspect that the problem is being caused by Tomcat's use of Log4JLogger from juli-adapters:

repository/org/apache/tomcat/extras/juli-adapters/6.0.16/juli-adapters-6.0.16.jar

See http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/configuring-application-specific-logging-with-log4j.html for guidelines about how to set up app logging so as to be configurable yet not interfere with geronimo's logging.

Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-4104:
---------------------------------------

I do not see any problem with Tomcat logging in general. However, I do see a problem when JSPWiki is deployed. JSPWiki is reconfiguring the global log4j settings (the root logger) using its own configuration file (log4j settings are specified in the WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties file). By default, JSPWiki sets up logging to /tmp/jspwiki.log file and that's where the actual root exceptions are logged to. To disable JSPWiki from reconfiguring the root logger one needs to comment out the following line in the jspwiki.properties file:

log4j.rootCategory=INFO,FileLog

After commenting out that line in the jspwiki.properties file, the full exceptions were logged to geronimo.log file.

[jira] Resolved: (GERONIMO-4104) Tomcat logging is broken

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4104?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jarek Gawor resolved GERONIMO-4104.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid
      Assignee: Jarek Gawor

I'm closing the bug as I don't think there is much we can do if the application chooses to reconfigure the log4j settings.
