Tomcat: External Log Configuration [message #1383930]

Hello guys,

I dont know if you can help me, but lets try it anyways. We are deploying our RAP Application as a WAR and deploy it into tomcat.

Inside the Application we are using SLF4j and Logback and are contributing or Logback configuration via a Bundle Fragment, which works fine.

No one Requirement from the hoster is the following (Translated from German):

"In order to ensure effective operation even in case of failure it is necessary to change that logging outside the archive.
This means that the configuration file must also lie outside the war-archives."

As far as I unterstand this is not possible due to the nature of OSGi and its Classpath handling.

Anyone has experienced an familiar setup?

Regards,
Tobias Placht

Maybe you can include apache file install as bundle in your war. Then
configure the path to load bundles from and place your fragment there
(should also work if the fragment is a directory). Hot deployment does not
always work correctly, but for your requirement you can give it a try.
