Activate DEBUG only for CAS (jasig) classes on Tomcat 7

I would like to activate the DEBUG logs only for CAS classes in a Tomcat 7 where I deployed cas.war webapp.

So I followed the Tomcat 7 documentation about logging and added this in my /etc/tomcat7/logging.properties file :

...
org.apache.catalina.level=FINEST
...
org.jasig.cas.level = ALL

But then I have all the logs of the Tomcat 7 itself (ClassLoader debug stuffs for example), and it seems I still don't have the DEBUG log for CAS...

Any idea ?

Solution

  • Actually, no need to modify Tomcat 7 logging.properties file.

    You have to edit WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml of the cas.war and modify that line :

    <logger name="org.jasig" additivity="true">
    <level value="DEBUG" />
    <appender-ref ref="cas" />
</logger>
