My question is the following: these context loggers (where
ServletContext.log() goes to) are configured once per Tomcat instance.
AFAIK, they cannot be configured in webapp's
WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties.
If I deploy several versions of a webapp, can I configure a log file
where all this output from that app goes to (like the default logging
configuration does for manager and host-manager)?
Or I have to list all the version numbers that I am going to use in
the near future?
BTW, if there is a special processing for '##', maybe one can care
around a copy of
org.apache.catalina.util.ContextName ? Or use getPath() here that
does not have that '##'.
How about using the following as the logger name:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[${engine.getName()}].[${host.getName()}].[${context.getPath()}].[${context.getWebappVersion()]
with the last part being optional? It is separated by a '.', so
logging hierarchy comes to play here.
