I'm having a project using JSF2 (2.1.2), Richfaces4 (4.0.0.Final) on tomcat6 (6.0.28). In order to manage portability between Tomcat and WebSphere7 for my EARs, I have the following jars inside my tomcat lib: el-api-2.2.jar, jsf-api-2.1.2.jar, jsf-impl-2.1.2.jar, validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar.
My problem is that I never managed to change the log levels of JSF or Richfaces and except from the initialization ones, I don't see any inside my console. Even when I get exceptions in my server response !
I tried several ways:
1) Inside my applications, I'm using slf4j and log4j. So the natural way would be to use SLF4JBridgeHandler.install(). I made a small servlet to call this method during its init() method and added a 'load-on-startup' to be sure it's loaded before JSF Servlet (I'm not sure tomcat cares at all about this load-on-startup directive because I still get logs from JSF init before), e.g.:
INFO: JSF1027 : [null] Les objets ELResolvers de JSF n’ont pas été enregistrés avec le conteneur JSP.
09-09-2011 16:50:58:591 [Thread-2] 937 DEBUG com.jsf.test.SLF4JBridgeHandlerInstallerServlet - SLF4JBridgeHandler.install() OK!
I also added some configuration in my log4j.xml:
<logger name="javax.faces"><level value="debug"/></logger>
<logger name="com.sun.faces"><level value="debug"/></logger>
<logger name="javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf"><level value="debug"/></logger>
But I don't see any logs in my console when displaying a JSF page... I also tried using a filter to call SLF4JBridgeHandler.install() before the execution of the JSF Servlet, but I only get a lot of OK logs from my filter...
2) I tried to follow the tutorial here exactly (it creates new files in tomcat log folder for each logger of JSF2). I tri
