You could add a customer Logger tag to the context in your server.xml and add the 
swallowOutput="true" attribute, this will put standard out and standard error into the 
log file that you specify which is rotated on a daily basis automatically for you by 
tomcat.

Subject: Managing Tomcat logs


Hi,
I am using Tomcat as web server for my application. I start Tomcat using windows 
service. All the logs generated by the Application are written in to a file called 
stdout.log which is under tomca/logs folder.
I have noticed that with continuous use of application,stdout file size increasing to 
a large extent. To delete the it I have to stop the tomcat.
Is there any way that I can manage the logs date wise automatically(without manual 
intervention). I am not using any third party tool for logging.
The logging mechanism I use is very simple.

We have class Debug.java that have a method log(String);
This log() method use System.out.println();
In the application, I use Debug.log("Exception");

I will be more happy if there is any way to manage logs.
I have also noticed the following logs generated by Tomcat:
1.localhost_log.2004-06-18.txt
2.localhost_access_log.2004_06_22.txt

How to maintain these logs?. Can we off them permanently?
Thanks in advance.
