logging configuration

[Daryl Stultz]

Hello,

I'd like to specify that log files go to a folder under my web
application say /path/to/webapp/WEB-INF/logs. I see this:

ebean.log.directory=${catalina.base}/logs/trans

Is there some expression for the web application base (/path/to/webapp
in this case)? If not, how should I go about setting one? The value
should be limited to the scope of the web application, of course, so I
can have more than one Ebean application each with its own log
directory.

Thanks.

No (not that I am aware of).

I believe you effectively what a variable that would be the result of:

servletContext.getRealPath("/");

... if that was called "servlet.realpath" then we could use:
 
ebean.log.directory=${servlet.realpath}/WEB-INF/logs

.... I'll have a look.

I can handle determination of the path to the webapp in my servlet
startup code. But where do I set this value so it is not JVM global
(only specific to app) and Ebean can read it?

Thanks.

I was looking at this last night... and right now you can't really do it (because as you point out the other scopes are JVM wide).

I was making some changes to Ebean's GlobalProperties and friends which should address this as they are scoped via the webapp classloading to be per webapp.

So with a bit of luck I'll address this issue late tonight.

If you register in the web.xml the com.avaje.ebeaninternal.server.core.ServletContextListener ... then it will set the servlet.realpath parameter for you.  Otherwise you can calculate and set the value yourself via GlobalProperties.put() and GlobalProperties.evaluateExpressions().

Code in HEAD now.
