Tomcat is an aggregation of well-tested apache components could you elaborate a bit more on your implementation of either log4j or commons-logging? and please read the Tomcat logging tutorial http://www.mbaworld.com/docs/logging.html incidentally log4j specifies log4j.appender.R.File as in this log4j.properties file log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log and commons-logging would handle the File specification as 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs HTH Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and Confidentiality/Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité This message is confidential.
