RE: Basic question: How do I get the equivolent of console messages for Tomcat?
They go to stdout and stderr which means that unless you redirect the output
to a file they go to the tty from which tomcat was started.
On Linux/UNIX
tomcat.sh start > $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/system.out 2>
$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/system.out
or something along those lines. If you want to view it as it is written do
tail -f $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/system.out
Can't help you on Win32, sorry (unless of course you have cygwin32!)

for Tomcat?
Hi! Basic question: I just compiled a rather complicated
servlet and tried to test it out using Tomcat. Unfortunately, it
doesn't load up, which I'm not suprised about. How do I get
the equivolent of console messages for Tomcat. In other words,
where do Exception reports get dumped to and where can I
see the results of System.out.println() debugging messages that
I might place in my program?
I tried the "servlet.log" file, but all it says is:
Context log path ="/TestServlet" :tomcat.errorPage: init
I assume this means that servlet bombed out on loading
up, but how do I get the exception information so that I
can fix whatever caused the servlet not to load?
