Hello Wendy,
Set up your <Context ...> entry to look something like this:
<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" debug="5">
<Logger
className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_myapp_servlet_log."
suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true" />
</Context>
Setting the debug flag to higher numbers will give you more and more
output...to a point. I just use "5" and it seems to give me all the
info I need. Either read the docs to find out more specifics about it
or just experiment.
Now, this won't log info for you classes specifically. It will log
stuff based on what the Tomcat server classes want to log. If you
want to log on your own, I wouldn't bother with commons-logging. Use
Log4j directly. See here for reasons:
