In Spring I have slf4j with log4j to resolve logging.
I put relative path in log4j.xml configuration, but when i execute app in Netbeans Tomcat and independent Apache Tomcat, relative path is different, and I must change manually.
My idea is obtain context realpath from Spring Controller and set it in log4j configuration in execution time. But I dont know...
How can I change file path param of log4j from Spring Controller?
Two suggestions for you to try:
Add a WebAppRootListener to your web.xml - this will configure a system property pointing (default to webapp.root, but you can customize using a context-param - see the Javadocs link) to the root of your web application, which you can then use in the log4j.properties/xml file:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.WebAppRootListener<listener-class>
<listener>
<!-- log4.appender.File=${webapp.root}/logs/web-app.log -->
Or use the Log4jConfigListener in your web.xml (which ultimately delegates to a Log4jConfigurer) - this is similar to the above, but allows you to define a custom log4j configu file and also allows for your web application to monitor the log4j config file for changes made at runtime and automatically update your loggers:
<context-param>
<!-- Configure Log4J from the following config file location -->
<param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener<listener-class>
<listener>
I would also recommend you read the Javadocs for the above in detail - there are some gotchas with regards to deploying multiple webapps in Tomcat and sharing of system properties, but this can all be worked around (providing a custom key for each webapp, rather than the default ${webapp.root}

I want to use springboot with security and primefaces.
I have followed this article but with one little change, I don't want to use JoinFaces. Everything works fine except the spring sec taglib.
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags
Now I'm not sure how to configure servletContext so that the sec tags would work.
Here is GitHub repo for now its really simple project just to test the combination SB + SS + PF.
I had the same scenario before and I ended up adding springsecurity.taglib.xml in my project. You can copy the file content from here and then register it in your web.xml file as follow:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_LIBRARIES</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/springsecurity.taglib.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
Fact 1: in this answer it is mentioned that the web.xml file has been replaced by the (generated) WebConfigurer class.
Fact 2: in the logback documentation it is explained that, in order to avoid the logback facility shutting down before the application shutdown is completed, which would cause loss of logging messages, the web.xml file should be edited by adding the following stanza:
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>logbackDisableServletContainerInitializer</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
</web-app>
Putting it all together, how can I set this configuration parameter while using jHipster?
Bonus question(s): how are the contents of the web.xml file mapped to the WebConfigurer class's contents? Can the WebConfigurer be customized during the generation phase, or should it be edited manually after generation?
As reported in the answer to this question, the web.xml file can be found (and edited) in the "src/main/webapp/WEB-INF" folder, although it is discouraged to use it. However, there does not seem to be another way to operate in this case.
I have made a web application to be deployed in the Websphere server but i came up with a problem.
I have 20 servlets that use a common parameter so i have this declared on web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>filePath</param-name>
<param-value>C:\logs.txt</param-value>
</context-param>
I want this parameter to be easily edited in the Websphere console but doesn't work. I know this works on Tomcat but is there anything equivalent on websphere?
Thanks
You should edit web.xml only on the server, there is know interface for it in the Console, as I remember.
You can find this file here:{WAS_ROOT}/profiles/profilename/config/cells/cellname/applications/enterpriseappname/deployments/deployedname/webmodulename
Link to the documentation:

I'm looking for a way to set spring profile in jetty programmatically so that the application that the war file on the server used the given profile, this is my code:
final WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
context.setLogUrlOnStart(true);
context.setWar("target/deployables/myapp-rest/myapp-rest.war");
context.setContextPath("/" + TEST_APP_CONTEXT);
context.setParentLoaderPriority(true);
server.setHandler(context);
server.start();
I tried a couple of things but none of them seem to work... I need to pass -Dspring.profiles.active=myProfile
This is tested with Jetty 9.3 but webdefault.xml seem to also be available for lower versions (it's placement might be different though).
Go to $JETTY_HOME/etc and open webdefault.xml. Search for context-param in the file. Add this code somewhere below:
<context-param>
<param-name>spring.profiles.default</param-name>
<param-value>prod</param-value>
</context-param>
This will work if your web.xml (in the your-app.war file) doesn't contain this context-param.
Otherwise you could also use override-web.xml (docs) but you would need to configure it in jetty-web.xml and jetty-web.xml must be bundled inside the war... So YMMV, but I didn't want to change my war and webdefault.xml is an easier solution for me.
Saw same issues in others queries, but did not find the answer, hence posting it afresh.
Created a sample Helloworld service in Rest and deployed it in Tomcat-Jersey. Not using Maven.
Injecting a spring bean define in applicationContext.xml which is present in WEB-INF directory.
Deployed the service in Tomcat within Eclipse.
But when I execute the rest service, cannot find file applicationContext.xml.
Once I copy the file to WEB-INF/classes only, it works.
What is the way to make it work by keeping it only in WEB-INF?
web.xml :
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
Rest service code snippet :
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:applicationContext.xml");
It seems reasonable to work when you drop the context descriptor under /WEB-INF/classes because this location is the root of classpath.
So try loading with below uri (without prefix) if you want to drop your applicationContext.xml under WEB-INF folder:
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml");
Otherwise, can you explain why are you trying to load your applicationContext.xml within your web application?
Alternatively, you can load your application context programatically as follows:
ApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(this.getServletContext());
BR.
If you are using Intellj IDEA and having problem with ApplicationContext.xml path;
Go to File and click Project Structure. Under the Project Settings, click Facets, at the Web Section you will see Web Resource Directories. You should define Web Resource Directory to your /WEB-INF folder. If your /WEB-INF folder is in the subpath like below;
/web/WEB-INF/...
Then choose /web directory to cover all your files.
