Hey George, Interesting problem with that console... I'm deploying my war file through Tomcat 5.5 manager (web based interface). Since Tomcat is running as a service on Windows, there really is no console per se. In the past, I've started tomcat from the command line, and I was able to see output in the console, however this time, I've installed Tomcat using the Apache installer and had it set itself up as a Windows service, so I'm not starting it from the command line any longer. Therefore, I can't see any console output from Tomcat.
I'm leaning towards throwing away the log4j.xml file I'm currently using and trying to use a much simpler one for now - just to get some kind of output. I'll let you know how I make out.

Log4j won't create it for you. Do you see your log output on the console? > Below is the log4j.xml properties file.

It will probably be relative to the current working directory where you start Tomcat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
