Yes, thanx Yoav, I am in fact using Log4J for webapplication specific logging, with very good results.
But sometimes exceptions occure where they should not occure (where they are not caught), and I get stacktraces printed out on to the tomcat console, but no information in wich application the problem happens, only what kind of error and in which class. Can I configure Log4J to take everything that is printed to stdout and apply a pattern to it and write out to a file ? I think I need a logger that grabbs everything that comes out on the stdout (console) and writes it out with log4j to a file, with a pattern. To clarify once more : I need logger that grabs unhandled exceptions written out to the console and checks which application or classloader they occure in, and gives me more informative information than just the stacktrace. Right now I'm looking at a way of developing such thing with log4j (of course) thanx -reynir > -----Original Message----- > From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 20. janúar 2003 16:13 > To: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Logging > > > Howdy, > Here's one way: use log4j.
