We are developing a Spring-based web app, using Tomcat on our individual development boxes, but using JBoss 4.2.3 for production (the app is currently in the early stages of development). We have set up java.util.logging-based logging in Tomcat by including a logging.properties file under WEB-INF/classes. I am trying to tweak JBoss to use java.util.logging with this properties file as well.
I have found and followed the instructions given at http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/LoggingPlug-inJDKjavautillogging for configuring JBoss to use java.util.logging, but I am not getting the expected results. Specifically, in run.bat I have:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dorg.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass=logging.JDK14LoggerPlugin -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -Dmy.log.directory=E:/MyLog
I have also built the sample JDK14LoggerPlugin into a JAR file, dropped the JAR file into JBOSS_DIST/lib and added the -L <jar_name> option to get JBoss to load it. The boot.log file indicates that it is getting loaded, and that the my.log.directory property is getting set correctly. (However, I notice that the org.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass and java.util.logging.config.file properties do NOT appear in boot.log.)
The logging.properties file is bundled into my WAR file under WEB-INF/classes, and looks like:
handlers = org.apache.juli.FileHandler
############################################################
# Handler specific properties.
# Describes specific configuration info for Handlers.
############################################################
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${my.log.directory}
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = my.However, when I run the app, no log file is created in E:\MyLog, and none of my expected log output appears in the server.log file for JBoss.
What more do I need to do?
