Re: How to set application logging properties

I'll answer the latter part of your question which is about how
to get the app.conf customizations you do to be part of the deployed
application.

In the following I'll assume you are using Maven, not Ant.

1. In you "app" project, create a file called 'app.conf' and place it
in 'src/main/etc/'. This is your customized config file.

2. In your POM for the 'app' project :
 <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>

<etcConfFile>${basedir}/src/main/etc/app.conf</etcConfFile>
                    ....
                </configuration>


Bottom line: The whole trick is in utilizing the
http://www.mojohaus.org/nbm-maven-plugin/cluster-app-mojo.html#etcConfFile
config parameter.

You can name the conf file anything you want and place it anywhere you like.
It doesn't matter what you name it. In your actual distribution it will be
be named by your app's name.

Example: My app's name is 'butterfly'.  Regardless of the fact that I use
a generic name such as 'app.conf' in my build, the resulting file in the
distribution will be 'butterfly.conf".  (the Maven plugin will do all the
renaming).
