Hi, I have 2 questions. 1. What is logback access exactly. Is it about providing webserver request information in terms of log. Doesn't such facility come with web server itself? (catalina.log for tomcat etc) 2. I am trying to use logback access with Tomcat, however just not getting there. It would be great if someone points out any miss-outs. Below are details: -Tomcat 6.0.33 -Logback core 0.9.30 -Logback access 0.9.30 I have put above logback jars into tomcat jar directory. I have added 'Valve' configuration in server.xml and as required put the logback-access.xml in conf directory of tomcat. I referred http://logback.qos.ch/access.html My webapp has single simple servlet that just prints login name on page which has been input from html login form. This works well however I do not see any logback initialization logs. When I query 'AccessViewStatusMessages', again I do not see any messages except one 'Could not find status manager' Here is logback-access.xml content: <configuration debug="true"> <!-- always a good activate OnConsoleStatusListener --> <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" /> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <encoder> <pattern>%h %l %u %user %date "%r" %s %b</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </configuration> Regards, Yuvaraj Yuvaraj Vanarase, Lead Technology - Software Phone: +91.20.40262000 Ext 2305|Mobile: +91.9850818870 | http://www.synechron.com SYNECHRON - - Top 15 Best IT Employers for 5 consecutive years (link<http://www.synechron.com/news/news_best_employer_sep2011.htm>). - Celebrating 10 Years!
