That file gets loaded only when the JVM uses them for the first time, so I have to restart Tomcat to get it to recognize changes. * If you use the ConsoleHandler for output (so that the messages end up in catalina.out for Tomcat), there is a limit on the detail level of *any* message sent to the console, no matter what the individual level setting has.
