Im looking to do the exact same thing. I tried adding a file named "commons-logging.properties" to my classes directory that contains the following line.
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger This doesn't do what I read it would do. I still have output to stdout.log. - B -----Original Message----- From: Ian Wootten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 11:38 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Setting default tomcat logger 5.0.28 I've managed to make some headway with this problem. I've moved my log4j.properties file over into the axis/web-inf/classes directory, and this catches all axis output, but what I want to know is how to direct all output to log4j. So, that initial startup stdout and stderr output to log4j. Is this possible? Thanks Ian Ian Wootten wrote: > I'm having a right job trying to configure the default logger within > tomcat.
