try adding to your logger and see what happens. Also, do you see your log files getting created? Based on what you have written, if you start up Tomcat using the default scripts, they would end up in "CATALINA_HOME/bin/logs". Of course, since Tomcat doesn't create directories when writin

I've now downloaded Log4J and created a log4j.xml file (modified from a sample I found online). I assume commons-logging will find log4j since the documentation says it is the preferred (default) logging tool choice. My war file deploys correctly, however I don't see any log output being generated

What about shared classes that operate in a server environment should be log using static Loggers? Is there any implication when doing that? Thanks, Kostas On 13/06/06, Konstantinos Karadamoglou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: thank you Javier! On 13/06/06, Javier Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro

Hi, I am having a problem with the DailyRollingFileAppender. Some nights it rolls exactly as it should. Some nights, instead of rolling and creating a new log file, it writes the current log in the previous log (overwriting the previous log file). When it happens (and I couldn't figure out what e
