Hi Thomas,
First thanks for your reply. This is the relevant section in the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/log4j.properties file:
log4j.debug=true
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, CATALINA, CONSOLE
.
.
.
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.encoding=UTF-8
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.DatePattern = '.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.conversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} - %X{login} -
%X{device} - %X{uri} - %X{log} - %X{sessionId} - %m%n
and this is the log4j.properties file (relevant console section) for the
application:
<appender name="LOGOUT.CONSOLE"
class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="File"
value="$CATALINA_BASE/logs/application-console.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss}
[%c] %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
but I can still see the application console output going into 'catalina.out'
instead in the 'application-console.log' file which never gets created.
And this is what I have in the application context:
<Context .... swallowOutput="true"> .... </Context>
Thanks,
Igor
