Custom tomcat:9 image, change time format config in `logging.properties`, not working, what am I missing?

[moontide]

The following code snippet is from my Dockerfile

# The following single line will work for tomcat:7 in docker container
RUN sed -i '/java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding = UTF-8/a java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format = %1$tF %1$tT.%1$tL [%4$s] %2$s: %5$s%n' /usr/local/tomcat/conf/logging.properties

RUN sed -i '/java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding = UTF-8/a 1catalina.java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format = %1$tF %1$tT.%1$tL [%4$s] %2$s: %5$s%n' /usr/local/tomcat/conf/logging.properties
RUN sed -i '/java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding = UTF-8/a org.apache.juli.OneLineFormatter.timeFormat = yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS\n1catalina.org.apache.juli.OneLineFormatter.timeFormat = yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS' /usr/local/tomcat/conf/logging.properties

Note

• If I use this logging.properties for Tomcat 9.0.X outside of docker, it works as expected.
• If I add -D'java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%1\$tF %1\$tT.%1\$tL [%4\$s] %2\$s: %5\$s%n' to ENV in Dockerfile, then rebuild customized image, it works as expected.

What am I missing?

Sorry, I think this is a case of us being the wrong people to help debug this. 🙈

I would suggest trying a dedicated support forum, such as the Docker Community Forums, the Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow. 👍
