Maybe the problem is not what the log4j.properties contains but if it is found by the package. Try to put this file in System.getProperties().get("user.dir") [ the package itself is located in WEB-INF/lib ]

Hi, I can't even get it to create the log file and see no log4j related messages in the catalina.out. Below is my log4j.properties which is in common/classes log4j.rootLogger=debug, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat-5.5.4/logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100MB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina=DEBUG, R I have put log4j-1.2.9.jar in common lib. I would have thought that at least the file would be created even if nothing was in it. Any ideas?

I'll give it a another whirl and it should cut down on the errors from the 3rd party app in the short term and as long as they aren't in catalina.out i'll be happy.

Hi, The example in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html is a decent start. Since your goal is to reduce messages being output to the log, at least for this 3rd party application, add a line like log4j.logger.rootPackageOf3rdPartyApp = WARN to the sample file at the above URL, and you should be all set.

Hi, We have a 3rd party application which has a nasty habit of chucking out a load of messages to stdout and stderr. Up until tomcat 5 we used a console Logger with swallowOutput turned on to catch all that output so it didnt end up in catalina.out. Obviously in 5.5 this is not possible and Log4J seems to be the way to go. I've tried this but not having much luck. I think it's just that I don't understand the log4j.properties file. Could someone perhaps post a sample that would do roughly what I need and I can tweak it from there.
