cannot format messages for consolehandler

[tc...@comcast.net]

I'm having problems formatting messages processed by the consolehandler.  Using Tomcat 5.5.9 with jdk 1.5.0 on Windows XP.

Since yesterday (see previous post about ConsoleHandler), I have re-installed fresh copy of Tomcat.  I can modify other parts of the logging.properties file and see those changes (such as the .prefix entries, see below).  But my change to the ConsoleHandler.formatter look to be ignored.

Any ideas???

logging.properties:
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 4admin.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 5host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = com.rwd.log.learnTomcatLogFormatter.LearnTomcatLogFormatter

My formatter:

package com.rwd.log.learnTomcatLogFormatter;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Formatter;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;
public class LearnTomcatLogFormatter extends Formatter {
 public synchronized String format(LogRecord _arg0) {
  String retval = "Date[" + new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())+ "] Level[" + _arg0.getLevel() + "] Message[" + _arg0.getMessage() + "]";
  return retval;
 }
}
