Try running tomcat as a service rather than from the command line directly
that way all stdout should be redirected to your logs.

 I am trying to configure a new realm for MySQL, and I am 
 finding debuggin problems at this point is next to impossible 
 and very frustrating. When I try to start Tomcat, the console 
 window pops up for a second, an exception message is thrown 
 and the window closes before I can read it. The log files do 
 not show any of this output, so I am stuck with changing 
 things one at a time to see if I can get Tomcat to fire up 
 and generate logs!
 
 Any advice on how to get output to a log file when I can't 
 start Tomcat???
 
 Thanks, Geoff

Better yet, don't use startup.bat.  Open up a command window, and use:

catalina.bat start

This will pop up another window, where all of Tomcat's startup messages will
be displayed.

RE: debugging help

Here's an Ant task that can be very helpful in these situations:

target name=start.tomcat
java classname=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap fork=yes
jvmarg value=-Dcatalina.home=${tomcat.home}/
arg value=start/
classpath
fileset dir=${tomcat.home}
include name=bin/bootstrap.jar/
include name=server/catalina.jar/
/fileset
/classpath
/java
/target

If you're not using Ant, you can use the following command line argument
from your $CATALINA_HOME directory:

java -cp bin/bootstrap.jar;server/catalina.jar
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

HTH,

Matt

YESSS!!! thanks Matt, that did exactly what I wanted to, showed me it was a driver 
exception, the window stayed open. John - I tried your idea and the window still 
closed imediately after the exception. Hamish - When I actually get it running again I 
am going to install it as a service!!

Thanks again guys, Geoff

the following is the help from 4.1.6, but I believe it still stands,
correct?

You could use catalina run as the command to start tomcat in the current
window.


Usage:  catalina ( commands ... )
commands:
  debug Start Catalina in a debugger
  debug -security   Debug Catalina with a security manager
  embedded  Start Catalina in embedded mode
  jpda startStart Catalina under JPDA debugger
  run   Start Catalina in the current window
  run -security Start in the current window with security manager
  start Start Catalina in a separate window
  start -security   Start in a separate window with security manager
  stop  Stop Catalina
