Access Logging

[Arne v.Irmer-2]

Hi,
I would like to log the access to the repository.

Is there a way to configure or implement a log in a separate file that includes:
- Who accesses?
- What was accessed?
- When?
- What kind of access? Read/Write/Delete/Query...
- …

Yours
 Arne

For the ACL part, you could probably enable logging on or inside the
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security package (don't know which classes
give you the right information).

Not sure, but you might also want to have a look at this tool which
acts as a jcr wrapper and logs all jcr operations:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/sandbox/jcrlog/

Hi Alex,
thank you for your hint. The wrapper has some drawbacks:
- It looks like not be maintained anymore.
- It doesn't log who accesses.
- It doesn't work with the webdav-layer.

Are there any other solutions to log the activities on a repository?

Yours

It's open source, so you could modify it to suit your needs ;-)

I guess the difficult part is to put the jcrlog "in between"
jackrabbit and the webdav layer. That probably needs some code
modification - but I don't know.

As I noted in my first answer, enable DEBUG log level. If you can't
find the right package, enable it for the whole org.apache.jackrabbit
package and then filter out the relevant stuff step-by-step.

Alex
