Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Remove logging to xwiki.log by default

Hi devs, I'd like to propose removing the log to xwiki.log by default in our log4j.properties file. The rationale is: * This is causing problems with a lot of users since by default we log in the current directory and there are lots of cases when users start xwiki from a directory where you don't have correct permissions * We don't control where xwiki.log is created Proposal: * We only log to stdout: ** tomcat is already configured to capture stdout/stderr and to redirect them to catalina.out ** I have a modification ready for Jetty to do the same, here it is in case you want to see it: <!-- =========================================================== --> <!-- Redirect stdout & stderr to a log file --> <!-- =========================================================== --> <New id="ServerLog" class="java.io.PrintStream"> <Arg> <New class="org.mortbay.util.RolloverFileOutputStream"> <Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/logs/ yyyy_mm_dd.stderrout.log</Arg> <Arg type="boolean">false</Arg> <Arg type="int">90</Arg> <Arg><Call class="java.util.TimeZone" name="getTimeZone"><Arg>GMT</Arg></Call></Arg> <Get id="ServerLogName" name="datedFilename"/> </New> </Arg> </New> <Call class="org.mortbay.log.Log" name="info"><Arg>Redirecting stderr/stdout to <Ref id="ServerLogName"/></Arg></Call> <Call class="java.lang.System" name="setErr"><Arg><Ref id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call> <Call class="java.lang.System" name="setOut"><Arg><Ref id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call> WDYT?
