Procedure 5.2. Add Logging Profile configuration to an Application
Edit
MANIFEST.MF
If your application does not have aMANIFEST.MF
file: create one with the following content, replacing NAME with the required profile name.Manifest-Version: 1.0 Logging-Profile: NAME
If your application already has aMANIFEST.MF
file: add the following line to it, replacing NAME with the required profile name.Logging-Profile: NAME
Note
If you are using Maven and the
maven-war-plugin
, you can put your MANIFEST.MF file in src/main/resources/META-INF/
and add the following configuration to your pom.xml
file.
<plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifestFile>src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile> </archive> </configuration> </plugin>
When the application is deployed it will use the configuration in the specified logging profile for its log messages.
