Edit Question
Title
Body
I am planning to implement logging into a web application that I am currently working on but I am struggling with some of the details. What is the best way to go about logging a Java web application? Specifically; Where does the configuration file go in .war package file? Where do people log to, relative or absolute path flat file, or a database? Does Log4J logging go directly into the application server log file automatically or is that something you have to set up? In this case I am using Tomcat, but I often use Jrun. Any other gotchas I should be aware of for web application logging? Currently I am using Log4J but I imagine that the best practices would apply universally to all logging implementations. EDIT: One addition to the questions up top. Where do you initilize the log configuration? In a traditional app, I do this at the entry point; DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch("log4j.xml"); What would the web application equivalent be?
