I am trying to adjust the configuration of a closed source application to allow it to run inside several copies of JBoss on the same machine.
This means the logging has to go to different places for each copy.
<param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/mcs.log"/>Seems like a good way to do this, only it doesn't work for me :-( No log is created, and I can't find an error message anywhere too. To check the property can be replaced, I tried this:
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%d{dd MMM HH:mm:ss} TOKEN ${jboss.bind.address} TOKEN ${jboss.server.home.dir} TOKEN [%t] %-5p %l %x - %m%n"/>and set the File to just /tmp/mcs.log.
The log entries show that the bind.address is replaced with 0.0.0.0 as expected, and home.dir is replaced with /opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/caps as expected.
Maybe the File param doesn't go through the substitution for some reason? So I tried putting jboss.bind.address in the filename of the log, and the log saved does contain 0.0.0.0 in the filename.
I saw jboss.server.home.dir used in the JBoss global log4j configuration, so I know it *should* work. This has me very confused!
Permissions are ok, when I use:
<param name="File" value="/opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/caps/log/mcs.log"/>
Which is what the first version should be expanded to, it works fine.
I'd be greatful for any suggestions!
Thanks,
Nick
