Chuck There are many web apps. Log4j logger is used in all web apps & there are no system.out or system.err
If I configure log4j at each web app level using log4j.properties, am abile to achive log file rotation but, this requires one log file per web application. What I am interested is one log file for all web apps - say catalina,out & this file should be rotated based on size, which should be configurable. Am not Ok with catalina.out being rotated once in a day or once in a month. Could you let me know, how to achieve my requirement, please ?

They should be using a proper logging mechanism, not just splattering print statements wherever they feel like it. You should be able to address that with the swallowOutput attribute of the <Context> element: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Logging#Q6 http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Set the attribute in conf/context.xml if you want it to apply to all webapps. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
