stderr

[Jerry Malcolm <2n...@gmail.com>]

I have converted all of my logging to JULI stuff.  To meet my specific
requirements for outputs, etc, I ended up creating Loggers on the fly and
assigning handler file names as opposed to using logging.properties file.
Everything works like I expected except for one thing.  It appears that all
output from all loggers still gets copied to stderr log file.  I went in to
the conf/logging.properties file and changed everything to "ERROR".  No
change.  (BTW... I'm on Tomcat 7).

This is not a big deal.  But the stderr file gets huge really fast.  And it
doesn't roll over at midnight.  I've got to bounce Tomcat in order to get
rid of it.

Is there something I can do to control whether or not the loggers all copy
log info to stdout (I'm certain I don't have a 2nd handler or anything like
that on the loggers.  Just the single handler that writes it out the file
as designed).

Thanks.

Jerry

That may be the default behavior for java.util.logging when there is
no logging.properties file. (I really don't know, I don't use j.u.l).

That changes the configuration at the server level. I think you want
to change the configuration at the webapp level. What happens if you
create a logging.properties in your webapp's WEB-INF/classes directory.

:(

You could log to a named-pipe and use a logger that knows what that means.

Better not to log to stdout (stderr doesn't seem right... are you sure?).
