Hi!
I'm in the process of upgrading from tomcat 8 to 9 and was running into a
probelm with velocity not beeing able to create the default log file,
./velocity.log and after some troubleshooting it seems it is trying to
create it in the root of the file system instead of the current working
directory, which i thought would be CATALINA_BASE.
I just did some test and logging in the webapp:
log.info("Working path: " + new File(".").getAbsolutePath());
would report "Working path: /.
And I could do a workaround by creating /velocity.log manually and give the
tomcat9 user ownership.
>From the logs it seems that tomcat is picking up the correct settings, see
below, so I really cant get my head around it..
This has been workign without a problem from tomcat6 to tomcat8, is there
some configuration change I may have missed?
