Getting tomcat logs through Logback

Hi, I want to get the tomcat logs through logback. I got following reference related to it and planning to try it, the only difference in my case would be a Syslog appender instead of a log file: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#log4j This approach required doing some changes in tomcat lib directory etc. I know Logback provides bridging to legacy APIs like java.util.logging http://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html I used jul-to-slf4j bridge to get the liquibase logs into my web application log file. Similarly does Logback provide some thing to get tomcat logs through logback. It is OK with me to get the copy of tomcat logs and tomcat also logging to to its own log files separately. Tomcat uses common logging internally. If I could get some way in which user don't have to make any changes in the tomcat configuration before/after the application deployment then it will be great. Any inputs? Thanks, Pradnya

What do you mean by Tomcat logs? The http access log? If so, please see http://logback.qos.ch/access.html On 02/12/2010 6:54 PM, Pradnya Gawade wrote:

I mean all tomcat logs related to the web application deployment as well as any error logs during the operation. I will take a look at this reference of tomcat access logs. Thanks. - Pradnya On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 4:06 PM, Ceki Gülcü <ceki@qos.ch> wrote:

Hi, I could get the tomcat access logs the procedure described. I am actually looking for tomcat internal logs to go syslog server. As I mentioned, following reference will probably get it using log4j: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#log4j I wonder if it is possible using Logback.
