Description Edward 2015-06-27 12:57:09 UTC
Description of problem: 
After configuring tomcat to work with log4j, there are no logs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
tomcat-7.0.59-4.fc22.noarch
tomcat-log4j-7.0.59-4.fc22.noarch

How reproducible: 
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install tomcat tomcat-log4j
2. cp /etc/tomcat/log4j.properties /usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.properties
3. cp /usr/share/java/tomcat/log4j.jar /usr/share/tomcat/lib
4. echo "LOGGING_PROPERTIES=/usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.properties" > /etc/tomcat/tomcat.conf
5. systemctl start tomcat

Actual results:
tomcat.log does not exist in /var/log/tomcat

Expected results:
tomcat.log should exist in /var/log/tomcat with debug logging



Additional info:
I followed the information at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j and got this to work by replacing tomcat-juli.jar in /usr/share/tomcat/bin and adding tomcat-juli-adapaters.jar to /usr/share/tomcat/lib

Here is the tomcat process I ran

[root@fedora22 lib]# ps -ef | grep java
tomcat    4128 31665  4 12:54 pts/0    00:00:02 /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java -classpath /usr/share/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/lib/java/commons-daemon.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/cache/tomcat/temp -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

Comment 1 Ivan Afonichev 2015-10-04 20:10:12 UTC
It seems they are rebranding commons lib.
      <replacefilter token="org.apache.commons"
            value="org.apache.juli" />

I don't think it is acceptable for fedora to ship such duplicates.
