[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5422) Logging configuration DUP should be more deterministic

Logging configuration DUP should be more deterministic ------------------------------------------------------ Key: AS7-5422 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5422 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Logging Reporter: James Perkins Assignee: James Perkins Notes from [~kconner]: The findConfigFile method does a recursive search of the resource, looking for the configuration files, but there seems to be a couple of problems with this - the order of the search may be dependent on the platform as VFS seems to rely on the filesystem order (not classpath) so it may not be deterministic across platforms. - any log4j.xml/log4j.properties/jboss-log4j.xml will overwrite the previously discovered resource, resulting in the last being chosen. I came across this while debugging some strange behaviour when deploying drools-guvnor.war into EAP 6. What I discovered is that this loop first identified the top most resource (/content/drools-guvnor.war/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml) but then overwrote it with an embedded one (/content/drools-guvnor.war/WEB-INF/lib/webdav-servlet-2.0.jar/log4j.xml) but it doesn't appear as if this method has a well defined behaviour.
