Hello As we are not providing any log4j configuration for individual web app, I guess, Tomcat is directing all the log4j log messages in the code to system.out which in turn is being written to catalina.out Agree that it may not be a good idea to direct log messages from all web apps to a same log file. But, our requirement is that there should be a single file. Considering all these, is there a way to achieve rolling for catalina.out, based on size ? Thanks

Tomcat does not itself put anything in catalina.out; data in there appears only because the Tomcat startup script redirects System.out and System.err to that file. > 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. Which really, really is what you need. Lumping them all together will create serious grief, as other posters have already pointed out. > What I am interested is one log file for all web apps A bad idea. You could just merge the log files after they've been generated. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
