Chris,

Thank you so much for the suggestions.

It's a tomcat on windows so some options of logs or files rotation available on 
Li/Unix won't work. I tried to write script to rotate but failed b/c as you 
said, I can't move log files while tomcat is running. Neither Log4j.

I also tried swallowOutput (mine is Tomcat7), but it doesn't work for me. If

I have to deal with it on production. That's the problem. Please don't ask me 
why, just b/c that's the business I have.

So maybe another question is how to do logging-pipe and rotate (as you said) 
for JSSE?

Thanks.

What did you try?

This isn't in production, is it? You certainly don't want anything in debug 
mode in production - at least not for long.

Obviously, the best thing is not to dump a lot of stuff to stdout.
Recent versions of Tomcat (you didn't say what you've got) have a 
"swallowOutput" option on specific webapps, but that is unlikely to affect JSSE 
debug logging.

Since Tomcat's logs/catalina.out is done using shell redirection, the stream 
moves with the file, so you can't just re-name the file: you'd have to restart 
Tomcat after moving the file which isn't really a good option.

You could try to use a logging-pipe that knows how to rotate files and hack 
catalina.sh to use that instead of "[...] > logs/catalina.out"
that is in there currently.

Good luck,
