No, this is not what I want to do. >If so, that's not going to work, because Tomcagt >starts up long before your application is loaded, and so the log4j.jar >file and log4j.properties file are not used at all. > >Your *application* should be able to use log4j without any problems as >long as the log4j.jar file is in WEB-INB/lib and your log4j.properties >file is in (usually) WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties.

It is a myfaces 1.1 application and I just realized jsf has logging built in somehow. I can't find any explicit call to Logger.getLogger in the code. I guess I have a terrible mess of all sorts of loggers in my libraries. I am not good at all the different Java loggers. The log4j.properties I want to use is for log4j-1.2.27 so not quite bleeding edge 😉. Then there are other libs that pull in slf4j-api-1.7.25.jar, there is a jcl-over-slf4j-1.7.25.jar, logback-classic-1.2.3.jar, logback-core-1.2.3.jar. Well, I do get quite lot of logging from the app in the tomcat logfiles, so something is working. But I don't know how to configure it. This used to work when I ran it on resin but I also changed quite a bit on the code when I switched to tomcat. I'll try without all the new stuff.
