Dear XWiki developers,
I'm configuring XWiki 1.0b4 to run on top of JOnAS 4.8.4 to use it for the
future website of the OW2 Consortium.
When I start XWiki (on JOnAS), a file xwiki.log is created in the current
directory.
First at all, I was suspecting a configuration problem in the webapp. So I've
discovered that the log xwiki.log is configured in the file log4j.properties
included within xwiki.jar. This is not really handy to configure XWiki log
directory.
I think it should be better if that file would be directly in WEB-INF/ at the
same level of xwiki.log. Unless if there is a way to configure the log
directory in xwiki.cfg, isn't there ?
Cheers

I agree we shouldn't have it in the JAR. It should be in the WAR.
That said you don't have to edit it. See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/
bin/view/Community/Debugging#HLogging

INF/ at the

I'd rather put it in WEB-INF/classes as it'll be in the classpath and
can be found by log4j automatically. Actually I'd personally prefer
to have all configuration files located there instead of WEB-INF as
this will make them available using CP mechanism but that's a
personal preference. For log4j.properties it makes sense to have it
WEB-INF/classes though even if we don't move the other config files.
Please file a JIRA issues and possibly attach a patch :)
Thanks

I wasn't aware of a such feature. I've tested and it works well.
