- determine if it should log (conditional logging)
- format a string to be logged
- Pass it along to a "logging" element which can then store the log entry somewhere
This way the Accesslog valve code with respect to File rotation, handling, ... can be greatly simplified.
for example: (some names are wrong but just an example)
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.SimpleLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" />
</Valve>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.PipedLogger"
exec="logrotate.pl" />
</Valve>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileDateFormatLogger"
directory="logs" dateStamp="mm-DD-yyyy"
prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" />
</Valve>-Tim
