Filip At the beginning of this conversation you said that you would validate my web app for me.
I have created a very simple web app that shows the difference in behaviour in terms of where a RuntimeException is logged in Tomcat 5.5.23 and 6.0.14. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not Log4J is turned on at the Tomcat level. The web app consists of an "emtpy" web xml, 3 simple JSP pages, the commons-logging and log4j Jars and a log4j.properties file. Shall I send the War to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or do you have an alternative place you would like it sent?
