This is Marco's Syslog Valve for Apache Tomcat, fixed such that it works with tomcat7. See http://marcoscorner.walther-family.org/2012/06/apache-tomcat-and-logging-the-2nd/ for more details.

Additional parameters from this fork:

• port: Syslog UDP target port
• msgLength: UDP packet message length to be sent to syslog

  • Maximum: 65507
  • Minimum: 480

Example:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.SyslogAccessLogValve"
	requestAttributesEnabled="true"
	hostname="localhost"
	port="514"
	msgLength="32766"
	resolveHosts="false"
	pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />

How to: Maven Release

1. make sure all your changes are pushed to remote master
2. make sure mvn clean install succeeds
3. do release file/config cleanup rm pom.xml.releaseBackup release.properties
4. do prepare step via mvn release:prepare; leave inputs as default (auto-increments versions)
   • this step will create a new local tag based on the release inputs
   • this step will do 2 local commits on pom version increments for the release and development cycle
5. push the tag created by the preparation step (step #4) via git push origin <tag-name>
6. do release step via mvn release:perform; this will output release jar, e.g. ${project.basedir}/target/checkout/SyslogValve/SyslogValve/0.1.0/SyslogValve-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
7. push the 2 commits created by the preparation step (step #4) via git push origin master
8. do step #3 as final cleanup step
