Hi everyone, I'm trying to tell tomcat to use log4j for its internal logging, but it just ignores me.. I have Tomcat 6.0.33 running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 (with java openjdk version "1.6.0-internal").
I followed to the letter the docs at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j I put log4j.properties (copy and paste right from the docs) in /usr/local/tomcat/lib, got log4j-1.2.16.jar in /usr/local/tomcat/lib, and put tomcat-juli-adapters.jar and (new) tomcat-juli.jar in /usr/local/tomcat/bin. I deleted logging.properties. As I start tomcat (through startup.sh) it tells me $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_BASE are both set to /usr/local/tomcat, so I just skipped point 5 of the docs. At this point, Tomcat just logs to catalina.out. Whatever i put in log4j.properties just gets ignored (i changed the conversion pattern, and the file name of the log files and restarted tomcat, but no change.. tomcat logs as it always did.. and to catalina.out alone now). I added -Dlog4j.debug to $JAVA_OPTS in catalina.sh, but i don't get any output from it. I have a project on Tomcat that gets correctly deployed and uses log4j (with its own log4j.properties in its war/classes), and for this project i can see the result of -Dlog4j.debug, but nothing regarding Tomcat itself. This issue is driving me crazy, any hint is appreciated! :) Thanks Silvia
