The following comment appears in the standard Bonita server.xml …
Why is this logger “not advisable”?
Thanks

First things first - I don’t think Bonitasoft put that comment there - I think that’s an Apache default. And having researched the Googl-eb I can’t find one good reason.
I guess the reasons are for security and performance, but again I’ve not actually found anything to say explicitly why not.
Even Apache’s documentation for the statement doesn’t say why.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html#Access_Log_Valve
What i would do is ask this either on Apache’s own forum or on more general, but widely accepted forum such as stackoverflow.com

PS: While I understand this may not be the answer you’re hoping for, it does indicate a possible route to the solution, please mark as resolved.
Don’t you mean?
On searching server.xml I couldn’t find any reference to SessionLogging
Can you point it out?

Sorry - my bad – yes, that’s what I meant.
“AccessLogging” not “SessionLogging”.
[post title edited to correct this].
Interestingly, I it seems it IS a Bonita addition… you can tell that this is the case by searching google for the phrase “AccessLogValve below is commented out as it is not advisable for production environments” (in quotes). There is only one result, and it’s the copy of the Bonita server.xml file on git hub. If it was a tomcat standard, then you’d see a huge number of hits.
But I agree; I find no justification for the comment.
See …
I stand corrected… or sit corrected. 
What i would do then is submit a bug report asking why specifically it is not advised when it obviously is…put them in their place a bit.
