Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Bryan E. Wooten" <>]

When building the UI using ant and source tar file the log4j.properties comes from grouper.api.

 

It has several lines like: log4j.appender.grouper_error.File = ${grouper.home}logs/grouper_error.log.

 

In the build.properties there is a comment that says to set “replace.grouper.home=false” so that grouper.home is not replaced with grouper.folder.

 

I tried that but my UI’s log4j.properities is being built with the grouper.folder value and not ${grouper.home} as I expected.

 

Am I miss reading this comment in grouper.properties:

 

#By default the Grouper API log4j.properties file references a System property

#grouper.home. Before building / deploying the UI you should ensure that your

#application server e.g. Tomcat has a System property called grouper.home set*

#or you should replace ${grouper.home} with a valid path. The property below

#will cause ${grouper.home} in log4j.properties to be replaced with the grouper folder

#defined below. This is OK when building and deploying on the same system, however,

#if you are making a WAR file to deploy else where you should not rely on this mechanism.

#* Start your application server with a -Dgrouper.home=<grouper dir>

replace.grouper.home=false

 

thanks,
