Hello,<br />The JSF portlet&#39;s class is the GenericFacesPortlet (which means not the MVCPortlet) and slf4j is used. I tried the resources/META-INF/portlet-log4j.xml (with dtd), but I cannot achieve logging in custom file and location.<br /><br />Any hints would be appreciated, for example a running example using the GenericFacesPortlet, too. Liferay patch level is 7.1.10.fp14.<br /><br />I&#39;d like to log for for one category (custom AuditLog class in a component, using slf4j and used by multiple portlets) in for example liferay/logs/auditlog oder liferay/tomcat/logs/auditlog.<br />The portlets are registered and known in osgi (the component is just a jar dependency a.t.m.).<br /><br />Regards,<br />gun<br /><br />crossposting <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62870899/liferay-dxp-jsf-portlet-logging-in-custom-file-and-location">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62870899/liferay-dxp-jsf-portlet-logging-in-custom-file-and-location</a>
