Ok this time I got it working for sure, note this is specific to getting
log4j working to log tomcat's classes when launched from jsvc.
1) Download commons-logging.jar and put it in $CATALINA_HOME/bin
2) Download the log4j jar and also put it in $CATALINA_HOME/bin
3) Create your log4j.properties file and put it in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
Here is part of my tomcat jsvc launch script:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
TOMCAT_PROG=tomcat
TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"
DAEMON_HOME=/usr/local/daemon
TMP_DIR=/var/tmp
LOG4J_CONFIG=log4j.properties
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:\
$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:\
$DAEMON_HOME/dist/commons-daemon.jar:\
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar:\
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/commons-logging.jar:\
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/log4j-1.2.8.jar:\
$CATALINA_HOME/common/classes:\
start() {
echo -n "Starting tomcat: "
chown -R $TOMCAT_USER:$TOMCAT_USER /usr/local/tomcat/*
$DAEMON_HOME/jsvc\
-user $TOMCAT_USER \
-home $JAVA_HOME \
-Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME \
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$TMP_DIR \
-Dlog4j.configuration=$LOG4J_CONFIG \
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLo
gger \
-outfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out \
-errfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out \
-Xmx256m \
-cp $CLASSPATH \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcat
return $RETVAL
}
Hope this helps anyone else who has a nightmare getting the classpath and
stuff set correctly =)
