Hello David, my answers are inline: -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 10:46:07 +0200 Von: David Delbecq <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: users@tomcat.apache.org Betreff: logging does not work in my webapp

This is valid with the above configuration. You would place a similar log4j.properties file in your web application's WEB-INF/classes folder, and log4j1.2.8.jar into WEB-INF/lib. Then specify your package level logging. This is a basic setup of log4j which does *not* require Commons-Logging, and you should consult the log4j documentation for more options. This page is intended only as a bootstrapping guide." In other words: Avoid to put commons-logging and log4j in commons/lib and put everything in WEB-INF/lib. Replace the default commons-logging-api.jar in TOMCAT_HOME/bin with the current version 1.1 and have a look at the diagnostic function http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/commons-logging-1.1/troubleshooting.html#Using_JCL_Diagnostics Both jars (commons-logging-api.jar and commons-logging.jar should have the same version). > I setup a log4j.xml file in my WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml.

Have a look at: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/Logging/StaticLog Regards Boris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
