            Bug ID: 61232
           Summary: Disabling rotation on the FileHandler creates
                    'catalina..log' instead of 'catalina.log'
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.5.x-trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: JULI
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: csuth...@redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ----

This is a trivial thing, but I thought it a good Beginner issue (unless someone
thinks that this is expected behavior).

When you disable rotatable in the default logging.properties tomcat creates
'catalina..log' rather than the correct 'catalina.log' file. There is no
functional issue, but it seems kinda buggy to do that. You can easily
workaround it by overriding the default suffix with
"1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.suffix=log".

To reproduce:

1) Install tomcat
2) Disable log rotation

$ echo "1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.rotatable = false" >>
conf/logging.properties

3) Start tomcat

bin/startup.sh

4) Check the logs directory for catalina log with double '.'s:

$ ll logs/catalina.*log
-rw-r-----. 1 coty coty 7796 Jun 28 13:58 logs/catalina..log
