Greetings!
After many days of searching and so on, I am still looking for information
on using the default logging built into Tomcat.
I am running Tomcat 3.2.1 under apache 1.3.12 on Solaris 2.7, with Java
1.3.
I have a servlet application set up that catches all the 'expected' errors
and logs them to text files, databases, etc. This includes bad input,
missing or wrong parameters, and so on.
However, I still need to catch 'unexpected' errors at the top level and
log them to a standard log file. Currently, I just am doing this:
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStacktrace();
}
This is fine for development; at least I can see on the console what
happened. However, for production rollout, I'd sure like to be able to
have some real logs.
I have checked google, groups.google and the mailing list. I do not want
to simply do a `tomcat start >&2&1` log, I want actual java interfaces to
a logger object that can write to the log listed in server.xml.
My server.xml file currently has a log listed:
--- server.xml excerpt ---
<Logger name="tc_log"
path="logs/tomcat.log"
customOutput="yes"
verbosityLevel="ERROR"/>
--- server.xml excerpt ---
However, this isn't working yet.
Also, in the <ContextManager> section of server.xml for my servlet, I see
this line:
<!-- ContextInterceptor className="org.apache.tomcat.context.LogEvents" /
-->
As you can see, it is commented out. I have not found any references to
this in the FAQ or docs; of course it is entirely possible I have
overlooked this. Uncommenting this did not change anything.
I have also tried to import org.apache.tomcat.logging.* into my servlet to
create a logger or TomcatLogger class, but the "package
org.apache.tomcat.logging does not exist".
SO, in a nutshell, how do I get access to a logger object to log errors
and exceptions to the log referenced in the server.xml file?
Thanks in advance for any tips, pointers etc.
Will
