    Description

      On the subject of logging... There are access logs being written inside the container at /opt/tomee/logs/. These are caused by the access log valve in /opt/tomee/conf/server.xml. That should be turned off or redirected somehow so that we don't write logs inside the container.

      I'm working on fixing this same thing for the shib IdP. In that case, they'll be sent to stdout using the mkfifo thing that we do in other places...

      will we end up with some double-logging? I'm already getting the Apache access log in the container output, like this:
      httpd;access_log;local;local;172.17.0.1 - morgan [14/May/2020:16:36:30 -0700] "GET /grouper/grouperUi/app/UiV2Group.addMemberFilter?groupId=3d04bb336ce44219b879af488207a680&name=&start=0 HTTP/1.1" 200 35 "https://grouper.local.iam.oregonstate.edu/grouper/grouperUi/app/UiV2Main.index?operation=UiV2Group.viewGroup&groupId=3d04bb336ce44219b879af488207a680" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0"

      Good point. There's no httpd for shib. Perhaps for grouper, it should just be turned off.

      I am not sure that is always wise.....
      It is also possible to use "only tomee" in the container too.
      So if not "apache" then no logs? (edited)

      Maybe I could suggest another env var to enable/disable logs when the thing in question is "on"?
      so
      GROUPER_RUN_APACHE='true' implies GROUPER_APACHE_LOG='true'
      and a deployer could choose to turn it off with an env setting.
      and
      GROUPER_RUN_APACHE='false'
      forces
      GROUPER_APACHE_LOG='false'
      Sane for the "GROUPER_RUN_TOMEE" env var.

      seems like a good idea to me!
