Change your first line from "DEBUG, cons" to "DEBUG, myAppender"

Log4J seemed like a good choice. The most important thing for me is that the log messages are written nicely into a separate file. Based on stuff I found using Google, I have created a log4j.properties file (see bottom of this mail) which is saved under the WEB-INF/classed directory. It seems like things are working *partly*... because although I do specify the file testbart.log, there is no testbart.log file on the tomcat server (i checked this with find / -name testbart.log as root). I *do* however see log messages appearing in /var/log/syslog, but that is not what i want. I want them to be written into a separate logfile. Can somebody point me in the right direction here? All i want is that the logs for my webapp (written using Log4J) are written in to a file /var/log/tomcat/mywebapp.log It is however unclear to me where i have to configure this... is it a Debian config thing? Is it a Tomcat config thing? Is it a log4J config thing? Do I config this in the log4j.properties file? Just for the record: we're using Tomcat 5.5 on a Debian GNU/Linux stable system.
