Typically, you'd have: org.apache.catalina.code.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/yourWebApp].handlers=crappyWebAppHandler > Qbis : by the way, and I know you're probably going to object to this, > but is there something above stopping me from directing that to a pipe > on the filesystem, where I pick it up with an external rotatelog or > something ? Not at all. As far as the logging system is concerned, it simply opens an output stream (probably a "Writer", technically) and writes to it. I think a named pipe is a great idea (which would work with catalina.out, too, so the complexity of this solution might not be worth if if you're willing to use a named pipe in the first place). > No, I don't want to learn log4j.

Actually, once you write a single log4j configuration file (and figure out wtf "additivity" is), you're set (kinda like Perl!). > (*) Actually, it's not the Java language itself, which is quite simple > and elegant.

Kinda like CPAN :) Good luck, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrqcQ0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDu6ACgxDe6zVVQvPo7ipMs2QuvMzy2 DwcAnR+q6u0rI5BYZaWEstf8kYD+VBUw =tKKP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
