Tamás Györgyey created LOGBACK-1467: --------------------------------------- Summary: LogbackValve fails to find config with absolute path outside of tomcat home Key: LOGBACK-1467 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1467 Project: logback Issue Type: Bug Components: logback-access Affects Versions: 1.2.3 Environment: linux, tomcat 9, java 11 Reporter: Tamás Györgyey Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Trivial When a filename property is specified, LogbackValve searches for the config by prepending catalina.base and catalina.home to the path, then looks for it as a resource. Neither of those manages to find a file referenced with an absolute path (e.g. /tmp/logback-access.xml). A simple workaround is to create a symlink from the default location to the external file, but this shouldn't be necessary. Specifying a file location outside tomcat home is convenient in certain situations and should be supported. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.3.1#73012)
