First of all thanks for your help!!! But I didn't find a solution until now. After revising the source code if found the main problem. I am using commons logging and not log4j. By using log4j all works fine.
import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator; private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(User.class); However with commons logging it doesn't. import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(User.class); May somebody have an idea to solve the problem at the bottom with this new aspect?

Sometimes such a thing happens, if one starts the process unintended as root, who then owns the log file and after starting again as non-root, the process user can not write to the file... You can add "-Dlog4j.debug" to the startup options of your Tomcat. Then catalina.out will contain information about log4j parsing its config, like log4j: Using URL [file:.../conf/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j configuration. log4j: Reading configuration from URL file:.../conf/log4j.properties log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[DEBUG,FILE]. ... log4j: End of parsing for "FILE". log4j: Setting property [file] to [/home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log]. log4j: setFile called: /home/jung/.../logs/RPSSERVER.log, true ... Maybe you will detect something strange in this output.
