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? gr Robin On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 11:41 AM, Ceki Gulcu <ceki@qos.ch> wrote:

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.

Hi there,

Is there a description somewhere how to configure SL4J + Logback in a Tomcat 6 (6.0.18) environment. I followed the steps for Tomcat5 but nothing works!

thanks in advance
