can not find cas.log for apereo/cas 4 - cas

I need to configire an apereo/cas in a few of days.
First I build the cas.war 4.2.2 according to https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template. And then I deployed it in tomcat 8.0.36. After I start up the tomcat, I can login by the sample user(casuser: Mellon), but I can't find the cas.log file in tomcat/logs folder and other place by find / -name cas.log.
I have copied the log4j2.xml to /etc/cas/ as per the reference. Besides, I can't any error in tomcat/logs.
Did some one solve this problem or have a clue?
By the way, the log4j2 xml is available at https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template/blob/master/etc/log4j2.xml.

Your log4j file describes where the log should be found. You'll file the location inside a file appender.

Your logging configuration doesn't specify a path so the files are going to end up in whatever the current directory is when you start tomcat or whatever tomcat sets the working directory to. That probably isn't what you want.

Warning: Could not find file C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar\co

I am getting this error while running the Student Management System project in netbeans Ide project in made in java,jsp,html.Please help me
Your project's build has a dependency on the Java ARchive (.jar file) com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5
There are two possibilities that I see here, without further details on what you have done so far:
1) You already downloaded the jar, but when you specified the path where your build process is gonna look for that file you had an error in your path ... make sure you have a jar file in C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar or C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar (I'm thinking you might have copied the name of the jar file twice in your path).
2) If you have not manually downloaded that file, then you should do so. You can find that version at http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/c/Downloadcommysqljdbc515jar.htm (or elsewhere). Once downloaded, make sure to copy/unzip the actual JAR file to your C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads folder.
Once you have ensured the file is actually on your system AND in the right path, run the build again.

How can I define an arbitrary file outside my web application to configure log4j2

My web application will be deployed to Weblogic application servers on Windows and Linux/Unix in different environments. The log file location, appenders and log levels will vary between the different deployments and we would like to be able to change the logging configuration during runtime (by exchanging the config file), so I cannot embed a log4j2.xml (or whatever other config file) into my deployment. And since I'm running on Application servers I cannot control, I've got no chance to add environment variables to point to another configuration Location.
Currently, my log4j2.xml resides in the classpath of my application and is being packaged into my war file. Is there any way to tell Log4J2 to use a configuration file e. g. relative to the application root (like Log4J's configureAndWatch(fileLocation) method)?
I found lots of examples of how to configure Log4J2, but everything I found about the config file location points to the applications class path.
I finally found a solution for my problem. I added a file named
log4j2.component.properties
to my project (in src/main/resources). This file contains a property pointing to the location of my log4j2 configuration file:
log4j.configurationFile=.//path//on//my//application//server//someLog4j2ConfigFile.xml
This causes log4j2 to read that file and configure itself from it's content.

What is the method or class or whatever that show me the configurations files of JRuby?

I'm new to JRuby, I installed it on windows 8, and I'm following it's wiki. When the wiki said to change a configuration option, it dose not say exactally where I can find the file where the option resides, it gives only its name but not the full path.
So is their a method that I can run on jirb to find the path to any configuration path.
thanks.
The .jrubyrc file is searched in your current directory (user.dir Java property), your home directory (user.home), and since you're on Windows, also in HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH, in this order (and the first one wins).

Configuration path of Log4j2

I am trying to adopt Log4j2 to my project. Since my Java Application is packeted in a JAR file. I don't want "log4j2.xml" configuration packaged inside of JAR file. I am trying to learn how configuration file works from "http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html"
But seems there is no clear instruction regarding altering the configuration file path of the Log4j2.
After googling about this topic I found something like "Referencing log4j config file within executable JAR" Referencing log4j config file within executable JAR, But this solution is not available any more according to "http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/migration.html" (if I understand it correctly).
So I am wondering if someone have any idea about this issue.
Thanks
You can set the system property to specify the configuration path.
set the
"-Dlog4j.configurationFile="D:\learning\blog\20130115\config\LogConfig.xml"
in VM arguments. replace
"D:\learning\blog\20130115\config\LogConfig.xml"
to your configuration path.
Put the log4j2.xml file in resource directory in your project so that the log4j will locate files under class path automatically.
Loading log4j2.xml file from the customized location-
You can use the System property/ VM arguments- Dlog4j.configurationFile=file:/path/to/file/log4j2.xml
This will work for any web application.
For some legacy applications, you can create a class for loading log4j2.xml/ log4j2.properties from the custom location on the machine like- D:/property/log4j2.xml
Using any of these approach,during application startup, the log4j2.xml file from the src/resources folder will be overridden by the custom location log4j.xml file.
Try using -Dlogging.config=Path_to_your_file

gwt tomcat, where are my files saved ?

First i want to appologize for my english skills because I'm a french dev ^^
I got a very simple problem with a gwt project. I want to get a picture from a database and save it on the server. When i run the project on eclipse, java save the picture on my war directory and that's fine.
Bue when i run the project on my tomcat server, java save me the picture on the directory where tomcat is...
that's pretty weird !
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for your time !
Each running application on a computer has a "current working directory" assigned to it. If you're not specifying the path where the file should be saved then it will be saved to the CWD by default. This CWD will vary depending on which container you use to run your application.
It's possible to change the CWD but this is not a good idea in case other parts of the container depend on it. You might like to add a context-param to your web.xml so that you can specify a path where files will be saved.
