maven - Make Logback write to the console locally, but to log file on server -

in web application built maven 3, there way have logback use either consoleappender or rollingfileappender depending where/how application running?

in production .war file deployed on tomcat 7. locally i'm running jetty maven plugin testing purposes during development.

i have logging work this:

• when run mvn jetty:run locally: use consoleappender
• when *.war file deployed on production (tomcat 7): use rollingfileappender

during local development seems comfortable have log output on console. in production instead prefer log file: catalina_base/logs/myapp.log.

obviously use both consoleappender , rollingfileappender in logback.xml. me seems unnecessarily redundant have log output on production written stdout , log file. also, tomcat documentation sounds logging stdout on production bad practice in general.

i couldn't find nice solutions on web. there solution this?

here's current logback.xml logs stdout , desired log file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration>      <appender name="stdout" class="ch.qos.logback.core.consoleappender">         <encoder>             <pattern>%d{hh:mm:ss.sss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>         </encoder>     </appender>      <appender name="file" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.rollingfileappender">         <file>${catalina.base}/logs/myapp.log</file>         <rollingpolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.timebasedrollingpolicy">             <filenamepattern>${catalina.base}/logs/myapp.%d{yyyy-mm-dd}.log</filenamepattern>             <maxhistory>30</maxhistory>         </rollingpolicy>          <encoder>             <pattern>%d{hh:mm:ss.sss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>         </encoder>     </appender>      <logger name="com.mydomain.myapp" level="debug" />      <root level="debug">         <appender-ref ref="stdout" />         <appender-ref ref="file" />     </root> </configuration> 

you can use profiles switch between environment. have 2 different logback.xml files local , prod. create logback directory inside resources directory. inside resources directory, create environment specific directory. directory name , envname inside property should match. here example.

<profiles>         <profile>             <id>local</id>             <activation>                 <activebydefault>true</activebydefault>             </activation>             <properties>                 <envname>local</envname>             </properties>         </profile>         <profile>             <id>prod</id>             <properties>                 <envname>prod</envname>             </properties>         </profile> </profiles>  <build>     <finalname>kp-prj</finalname>     <outputdirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputdirectory>     <sourcedirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</sourcedirectory>     <resources>         <resource>             <directory>${basedir}/src/main/java</directory>             <includes>                 <include>**/*.class</include>             </includes>         </resource>         <resource>             <directory>src/main/resources/logback/${envname}</directory>         </resource>     </resources> </build> 

and while using running maven command specify profile.

mvn run -plocal
