I also be +1 to considering making this the sole way AccessLogValve logging may be output.
The only possible reason why we wouldn't want to do this is that lots of users simply cannot figure out how to configure the loggers. Yes, it's really not all that hard and it's fairly well-documented, but at least with the output file name in the <Valve> attributes, there's no question where the log messages are going.
Fair point.
Philosophically, I'm not really sure why the flexibility of a full-featured logging system (JULI, log4j, etc.) is required for access logging: there's not much opportunity to use all the features they provide (log level filtering, log-message aggregation to log files and log-file multiplexing/splitting). Access logs typically log one thing (accesses), log it all the time, and always write to the same log file.
I'm not adverse to the patch, I just don't really see a need for it.
I was coming from the "I'd rather not maintain a bunch of code to solve a problem that the logging frameworks have already solved (threading, roll-over, output to multiple destinations)" angle. You know me, always happy to delete some code from the Tomcat code base.
My main point is that it is something worthy of discussion. And that is what we are doing.
