Log4j
Hi,
I want to use Log4j and log from different web apps to one directory -
tomcat_home/output/logs/{webapp_context}_service.log
What should be the configuration in log4j.properties?
I am currently using
log4j.appender.xml.file=${catalina.base}/output/logs/service.log
What I want is to append app_context in the file name.
Thanks,
Nishant

Thanks. This should work. I hope there was better logging
infrastructure in terms of compressing the file, ftp, log service,
archival etc.

I believe this is the best solution to this problem. It allows the
webapp to have control over its own logging, which is nice. You can
package a log4j.properties file along with your webapp and configure it
however you like.

RE: Log4j
Posted by Jeffrey Janner <Je...@PolyDyne.com>.
I had a similar problem with log4j.
We host our webapp for various customers, an instance (host) per
customer, therefore the same code for each customer. I tried sharing
log4j.jar in shared/lib, but found all customer loading into the same
log file - very confusing.
My solution was to put log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib of each instance, along
with individual log4j.properties files and setting different file paths
in the properties files. Only solution I could find.

IIRC, there is no way to obtain the application context path as an
environment variable.
You should configure Log4j using its APIs, using a
ServletContextListener.
Probably the best way is to load the "log4j.properties" file and
modify only the property that refers to the path of the file, then
configure Log4j.
