The best advise I can give you is to use a proper logging API : Log4J is great : http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/ http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html
Just put your log4j.properties file in the classpath of your webapp (WEB-INF/classes), and log4j will automatically use this configuration. Note : 1. log4j.appender.FILE.File=C:/log4j.log : this is the file where your log will be. 2. log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender : you should see the same log in your tomcat window. Here is an example of log4j.properties : log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CONSOLE, FILE log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender # CONSOLE uses PatternLayout. log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout # The conversion pattern uses format specifiers. You might want to # change the pattern an watch the output format change. log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r %-5p [%t] %37c %3x - %m%n # File Appender log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.FILE.File=C:/log4j.log log4j.appender.FILE.MaxFileSize=10000KB log4j.appender.FILE.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r %-5p [%t] %37c %3x - %m%n -----Message d'origine----- De : Vamsee Kanakala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mercredi 28 juillet 2004 14:44 À : Tomcat Users List Objet : easy debugging Hello list users, I'm using Tomcat on win2k. There is a window which is always open when Tomcat runs. It shows messages like "INFO:" etc. Is there a way I can write to this window from inside a servlet? I'm just looking for an easy way to debug my servlets.
