Hello
Thank you for your reply.
I am not using Log4J, I allways try to stick to the java.util.logging API. Within Tomcat, I create a logging.properties file like the one I am pasting below; I place it in the root package of the web application's source code, and as far as I remember I need no extra configuration.
What I was trying to do is to figure out the concrete class that is used within Tomcat, and put it in the "Log Handler" parameter in the Glassfish admin interface ( Configurations > server-config > Logger settings > General ).
I tried with the class "java.util.logging.LogManager" and I get this error:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.ServerLogManager$3 can not access a member of class java.util.logging.LogManager with modifiers "protected"
I am going to try again with some other configuration, just to see if I can use a different Log Manager.
About the features that you mention on the Glassfish logging system, I'd say they are useful for a server with few users, but once I have several applications producing logs in one server I think that separating them is a must.
