You need to configure logging for tomcat correctly. Have a look at the docs. catalina.out is just the fallback in case code outputs to System.out or logging has not been configured correctly. Also: in java.util.logging output goes to stdout (console) by default, i.e. will be redirected by the start script to catalina.out.
Configure logging to use java.util.logging or log4j and you will have timestamps, log files (rotating if you want) and all the other nice build-in features. Look at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html Regards, Rainer cifroes schrieb: > Jacob Rhoden wrote: >> I think either a LifecycleListener or ServletContextListener is what >> you want, you can detect tomcat startup/shutdown and/or application >> startup/shutdown >> >> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/LifecycleListener.html >> >> >> >> "Let's write a simple application lifecycle event listener that writes >> a message to the console of the server when the web application is >> ready to accept requests and when it is going to be removed.
