[logback-user] Multiple log files

12 Oct 2007

      Hi,

I have a couple of applications running on one tomcat instance.  I use the
following xml file for each application substituting contextX for the
application name, however, when I start tomcat only one context is
initialized and all log messages are sent to that context.

Is it possible to have a log file for each application in a tomcat instance?

Thanks,

Chris.
