Don't confuse "not understanding" with "not sufficient". The instructions do lead to a correct configuration. However, here it is more explicitly.
Allistair. Per-webapp logging ================== 1. Add log4j's jar to both your webapp's WEB-INF/lib folders 2. Add log4j.properties to both your webapp's WEB-INF/classes folders. *Minimally*, add log4j.rootCategory=debug, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=c:/jakarta-tomcat/logs/webapp-name.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=1500KB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d - %5p (%C:%L) - %m%n to those log4j.properties files changing the File path appropriately. Ideally you will pick up the log4j manual and create appenders that map to packages. Tomcat logging with log4j ========================= I've found the best way is 1. Add log4j jar to common/lib, add commons-logging.jar to common/lib 2. Add log4j.properties to common/classes with content log4j.rootCategory=error, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=c:/jakarta-tomcat/logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=1500KB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d - %5p (%C:%L) - %m%n log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.modeler=INFO, R log4j.logger.org.apache.tomcat.util.digester=ERROR, R log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.loader=INFO, R log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.session=INFO, R log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina=DEBUG, R log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.digester=INFO, R log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.beanutils=INFO, R log4j.logger.org.apache.jasper=INFO, R log4j.additivity.org.apache.catalina=false Tomcat logging per-webapp ========================= Add to your webapp's log4j.properties files log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost][/webappname]=DEBUG, R > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Purcell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 02 August 2005 14:22 > To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org > Subject: Logging With Tomcat 5.5 > > > Hello, > > I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I am > having trouble understanding how the Log4J works, and how I > can configure it on my localbox. > > First off, I am running Tomcat 5.5 and I have created two > webapp contexts.
