Re: Configuring GlassFish logging format?

The solution seems to be the first SO posting here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3880452/install-log-formater-in-glassfish

I've hacked together a simple log formatter:

[code]package com.kawoolutions.util;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
import com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.UniformLogFormatter;
public class JBossAS7LikeLogFormatter extends UniformLogFormatter
{
    private final String nl = System.getProperty("line.separator");
   
    @Override
    public synchronized String format(LogRecord lr)
    {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        // time only
        Date dt = new Date();
        dt.setTime(lr.getMillis());
       
        sb.append(new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss,SSS").format(dt));
        sb.append(" ");
        // level (longest is "WARNING" = 7 chars, space fill for level
output)
        String sLevel = lr.getLevel().getName();
        int numSpaces = 7 - sLevel.length();
       
        sb.append(sLevel);
       
        for ( int i = 0 ; i < numSpaces + 1 ; i++ )
        {
            sb.append(" ");
        }
       
        // package
        sb.append("[");
        sb.append(lr.getSourceClassName());
        sb.append("] ");
       
        // thread (name?)
        sb.append("(");
        sb.append(lr.getThreadID());
        sb.append(") ");
       
        // message
        sb.append(formatMessage(lr));
        sb.append(nl);
        // optional stack trace
        if ( lr.getThrown() != null )
        {
            try
            {
                StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
                PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
                lr.getThrown().printStackTrace(pw);
                pw.close();
                sb.append(sw.toString());
            }
            catch ( Exception e )
            {
            }
        }
       
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
[/code]

It even fixes the double newline problem on Windows machines.

I got this to work by putting the JAR into domain/lib/ext *at first*, but for
newer tries, whatever the reason is, I now only keep getting a
ClassNotFoundException:

Completed shutdown of GlassFish runtime
Command start-domain failed.
The DAS was stopped.[/code]

I saw the new format for a few tries, but the it stopped to work - strange.

If anybody finds out, please let me know. I've attached the JAR as is, if
anyone gets it to work (again) please let me know.

*Note*: I'm using the GlassFish plugin to start/stop the server, don't know
if this could be an issue.
