Logging With Tomcat 5.5
Hello, I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I am having trouble understanding how the Log4J works, and how I can configure it on my localbox. First off, I am running Tomcat 5.5 and I have created two webapp contexts. One is a dev site, and the other is a production site. I am using struts (I don't think it matters). I would to be able to have two sets of rolling logs. One for dev, and the other for production. I am trying to decipher the readme at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html; but I am not truly sure if this is for all webapps, or what this is implying. I would like to get all Tomcat messages (errors, etc) and my actual logging all in either one or two files per webapp. Can someone please assist me in this? The readme just doesn't cut it, or I am interpreting it wrongly. Or maybe there is an example setup somewhere. Any info would be appreciated.

Don't confuse not understanding with not sufficient. The instructions do lead to a correct configuration. However, here it is more explicitly. Allistair. Per-webapp logging == 1. Add log4j's jar to both your webapp's WEB-INF/lib folders 2.

RE: Logging With Tomcat 5.5
Hi, You don't change Catalina (for most purposes). Just change end part /webappname to your web application name, and yes, add it into the web application's log4j. E.g if your webapp was called banana You would add (in addition to the root logger etc..) into webapps/banana/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost][/banana]=DEBUG, R Allistair. -Original Message- From: Scott Purcell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 August 2005 14:49 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Logging With Tomcat 5.5 Allistair, That last instruction log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina ].[localhost][/webappname]=DEBUG, R What do I change the [Catalina] value to? and that does go into the log4j.properties file under the webapp?

Re: Logging in Tomcat 5.5
I'm *guessing* you're facing some of the issues I have been. I believe you'll essentially need to set up a separate LoggerRepository (based on classloader, not thread or contextual class loader) and provide separate config files for each. I've got log4j.jar in my WEB-INF/lib, I'm using my own static/classloader-based LoggerRepository, and this keeps Tomcat's logs using their own LoggerRepository and a separate logging configuration. I'm still not to where I want to be with this, but it's a far cry from the out-of-the-box mess that occurs with log4j and commons-logging. -- Jess Holle Joy Kenneth Harry wrote: Hi, I have a webapp in tomcat.

If you are talking about messages logged by code within your webapp, is it using the log4j API or the commons-logging API?

exception logging in tomcat 5.5
Hello, I just installed Tomcat 5.5.7 and ran my first webapp. I was rather disturbed that exception information only appeared on the default error page, but nowhere in the logs! In fact, in the out-of-the-box install, there were no logs written at all! I went through the docs and found a description of a rather complicated configuration process that would supposedly bring back the normal log (it involves copying 2 jar files and creating and copying one property file to the tomcat/common directory). However, since the docs say that stack trace info is written to stdout only, my hopes are not high for success with this - I thought I would rather go ask here. As I said, uncaught exceptions thrown from within my webapp (different places, e.g. a servlet filter) are not written to stdout (if that is what I see on the console). They only appear on the exception page - which is the one place where I dont need them on the long run. Can anyone help? Why has this been done? thanks, Christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

more logging in tomcat 5.5
hello! forgive the rambling nature of this message. my basic question is how do i get more detailed logging out of tomcat. i'm trying to set up a JNDIRealm to authenticate to an ldap server. in my realm config i've got the debug=99 name/value pair. my realm is included inside my host container. i see no debug output anywhere. where should i see this output? i also have an accesslog valve inside the host container like this: Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve prefix=localhost_access_log. suffix=.out pattern=combined/ the localhost_access_log... files are being created with very minimal information in them. is this where the debug output from the realm should go, or in the catalina.out directory? i've also followed the steps exactly to try and configure log4j as found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html after stopping and restarting tomcat, my log4j settings seem to have made no difference. they don't seem to be working at all. my log file as specified in the log4j.properties file is not being created. is there something further i must do to get this working? is there anything i can do to get more detailed logging out of tomcat and especially my realm config? sorry for the mess of questions. i appreciate any help, direction, or guidance! -jeff - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
