David, Thank you very much for your help with log4j >>> David Delbecq <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/12/2008 2:53:40 AM >>> catalina.out is just the sink for System.out and System.err, it's not managed by logging facilities. It's not even seen by jvm, as the redirection is done in the startup script (using the shell '>' redirector). If you configure a log4j logger for tomcat that uses an other file (see below our simple config) and teach all your webapps to
not use stdout and stderr, you shouldn't see anymore things appear in catalina.out. If you still need rolling of file during startup, you will need to ask external tools (like unix logrotate) to do it for you. ......common/classes# cat log4j.properties log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=........./logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=30MB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=20 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n En l'instant précis du 11/02/08 17:39, Amir Fadaghi s'exprimait en ces termes: > Hi, > > I am trying to implement the catalina.out log rotation in the development environment (for now and will implement to other environments once I figure this out) using log4j. I am running apache-tomcat version 5.5.25 and downloaded the apache-log4j-1.2.15 and commons-logging-1.1.1. I copied the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib and created the log4j.properties in the common/classes. However, when I stop and start the apache-tomcat the cataline.out is not rotating. > > Here is the my directory listings in the commons/lib direcotry and commons/classes directory: > > /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/common: > ls lib > commons-el.jar jasper-runtime.jar naming-factory.jar > commons-logging-1.1.1.jar jsp-api.jar naming-resources.jar > jasper-compiler-jdt.jar log4j-1.2.15.jar servlet-api.jar > jasper-compiler.jar naming-factory-dbcp.jar > > should I change the highlighted filenames to commons-logging.jar and, log4j.jar? > > /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/common: > ls classes > log4j.properties > > tail classes/log4j.properties > > # > # Application logging options > # > #log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG > log4j.logger.org.apache=INFO > #log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=DEBUG > #log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=INFO > > is the above line uncommented correct for rotating catalina.out rotation? > > My environment is: > Sun Solaris 10 > > I thank you for any help you provide. > > > > ----------------------------------------- > Email messages cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error-free as > transmitted information can be intercepted, corrupted, lost, > destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, or contain viruses.
