Re: Glassfish And Logging

ok, my suggestion came from my own experiences here:

I have 5 projects running on a same glassfish, and the log level is
set to FINEST, because I need to check the JPA logging as well.. (it
is a developmnet environment, so FINEST is a must have feature...)

You can imagine the size and the number of rollings I have here.. so,
after thousands greps and searchs in the log document, I started to
dream of having the project log files splitted..

* that's why I prefer to have it configurable in the admin console..
so, for production I can set level to info and keep all projects log
in a controllable size file, and for development (including hudson
CI) I can split them...

other, I use Hudson for Continuous Integration, so my server.log file
keep receiving tons of information and sometimes I am concentrated in
a unique project .. I do an operation and try to check the log file,
but between my operation and my grep, other 2 or 3 projects included
lines in the log file.. it is a search festival :)

* I trust in the architects of Glassfish.. sometimes we are so focused
in our little issues that we miss the whole picture, but I would have
this split easier then a manual procedure....
