Hello Ceki,

I followed your guidelines, and it works!
But I found out that my question was misleading. Your solution works if you start Tomcat the normal way (startup.bat)
But this solution does not seem to work when I start or debug, Tomcat from Eclipse-JEE (Ganymede).

I tried to update the server.xml in the \workspace\.metadata\..\tmp0\conf directory, but then I get ClassNotFound exceptions !?

Is there another way?

Hello Robin,

Place logback-access-0.9.13.jar and logback-core-0.9.13.jar under
$TOMCAT6_HOME/lib/ folder. Place logback-access.xml configuration file under
$TOMCAT6_HOME/conf. A simple config file you can use is:

<configuration>
  <appender name="STDOUT"
    class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <layout
      class="ch.qos.logback.access.PatternLayout">
      <Pattern>%h %l %u %user %date "%r" %s %b</Pattern>
    </layout>
  </appender>

  <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</configuration>

In $TOMCAT6_HOME/conf/server.xml, declare LogbackValve under Engine, as in

 <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
   <Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
   ...

Please let us know if it works or if it does not.
