How to install Logback Logger in Glassfish 3.1.1

How to install Logback Logger in Glassfish 3.1.1

1.) Download the ff jars:
a.) slf4j-api.jar
b.) jul-to-slf4j.jar
c.) logback-classic.jar
d.) logback-core.jar

2.) Copy the jars mentioned above in {glassfish_home}/glassfish/lib/endorsed.

3.) Modify domain.xml in {glassfish_home}/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml. We assume that you did not create another domain for this exercise. Otherwise change domain1 to your desired domain.

4.) In the "java-config" section add the ff "jvm-options":

<jvm-options>-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/custom_logging.properties</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dlogback.configurationFile=file:///${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/logback.xml</jvm-options>

5.) The above 2 statements will configure logger and forward the logging statement to logback. custom_logging.properties


handlers = org.slf4j.bridge.SLF4JBridgeHandlercom.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.flushFrequency=1
com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.file=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/server.log
