Thank you for this excellent question.
It is indeed configured by application logback.xml and not server.xml :

<appender name="ACCESS_LOG"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
     <file>/xxx/${INSTANCE}/logs/app/tomcat.access.log</file>
     <rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">

 
<fileNamePattern>/xxx/${INSTANCE}/logs/app/tomcat.access.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.gz</fileNamePattern>
         <maxHistory>${MAX_HISTORY}</maxHistory>
     </rollingPolicy>

     <encoder>
         <pattern>[%X{instanceId}] %X{remoteAddr} - %X{remoteUser}
[%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z}] %X{requestUrl} %X{responseStatus}
%X{responseContentLength} &quot;%X{requestReferer}&quot;
&quot;%X{requestUserAgent}&quot;%n%xEx</pattern>
     </encoder>
 </appender>


 <logger name="ACCESS_LOG" additivity="false">
     <level value="INFO"/>
     <appender-ref ref="ACCESS_LOG"/>
 </logger>

This ACCESS_LOG is used by a Filter
which is referenced (and instantiated) by spring and not by web.xml

So right now I don't really understand what this filter is logging, because
it also adds a response wrapper and logs after the request has been
chained...

Thanks for your time.

regards
Leon
