How does a logging framework know that it is deployed in a webapp? I suppose Logback could if you were using a LoggerContext that indicated that. On Aug 17, 2009, at 4:44 PM, Klaus Teller wrote:
That's new to me. I don't recall that log4j is interpreting relative paths this way. In a web app for instance, I would take "relative" to mean relative to the deployment directory of the application. That is, if my app is deployed in ${TOMCAT_PATH}/webapps/myapp, a my log file my_log.txt would be located precisely in ${TOMCAT_PATH}/ webapps/myapp.

Relative paths have to be relative to something. It is almost universal that they will be relative to the path that was the working directory at the time the application was started. So in this respect Logback is just being consistent. How else would you expect it to behave?

Hi,
When i use the file appender and specify only the log file's name (as opposed to absolute path), the log file is created in the directory from which the application is started.
For instance, if i start tomcat from the tomcat bin directory, the log file is created right there in the bin directory. If i start tomcat from my home directory, the log file will be created in my home directory.
Is this intentional? If so, can somebody help me understand the rational?
cheers, Klaus.
