A typical annoyance when combining Apache web server and Tomcat is the
difference in access log timestamp. Apache logs the beginning of the
request, Tomcat logs the end of the request.
I added a feature to Apache trunk (will become 2.4) to make it
configurable for Apache, which time stamp to choose ([1]). Furthermore
the Apache web server allows to choose the format, in which the time
stamp is being logged as something different than just "Common Log
Format". This is all configured by an appropriate "format" in %{format}t.
Any a priori objections about porting the same functionality to Tomcat
trunk?
Of course due to latency between Apache and Tomcat and due to different
timeouts, even when using the same time stamp (begin or end of request)
in both products, the timestamps will not always match exactly. But at
the moment matching the entries is much harder, than it could be.
