Jetty-Runner doesn't take log config

Question

I'm running jetty-runner inside docker. I've tried putting jetty-logging.properties inside WEB-INF/classes, but it just seems to not pick it up. Has anyone ran into this issue ?

Answer 1

Logging initializes at the start of the JVM.

Using WEB-INF/classes is too late, as that's not available until way later, during the WebApp initialization.

If you are using Docker, the recommended approach is using the ${jetty.home} and ${jetty.base} techniques. (as built into the official Jetty docker images)

Also, jetty-runner is deprecated and will be removed soon, it would be good for you to start transitioning off of it.
