Logback: how to change log directory from “tomcat/bin” to application related?

Question

I want to use slf4j with logback for logging.

You can see my logback.xml below:

Answer 1

If you do not want to save your logs in Tomcat's bin folder then use ${catalina.base} as file path prefix in logback.xml file.

${catalina.base}/logs/log.log

Here log file will be saved in existing logs folder of Tomcat instead of bin.
