Re: Problem with log level in tomcat.
@Konstantin Kolinko Sorry I did not observe this, I was talking about the
global one previously, here is the webapp specific one in the attachment
that is log4j.properties.
Now to log at fine level, which line should I change or which line to
append?
Thank you.

Do you mean that you *did* configure Tomcat for log4j, or that you
didn't? If you did, what does the Tomcat (global) log4j.properties
file look like? The one you posted was clearly intended to be used
only with your web application.
Okay, let's start over again. I *think* this is your environment:
1. Tomcat configured to use log4j
2. Your webapp is written to use Apache commons-logging
2. Your webapp configured to use log4j
3. Your webapp's log4j sends everything to the ConsoleLogger (stdout)
#1 above implies that modifying Tomcat's conf/logging.properties file
will not affect anything.

Is Log4JUtils a class of yours? How does it know the path to the log file?

So you are using commons-logging in your code. Have you provided any
special configuration to commons-logging, or are you allowing it to
auto-detect that log4j is your real logging mechanism?

I think you meant log4j.debug=true, and that might have to be a system
property. Try setting it in log4j.properties to see what happens.

I see no appenders configured except for the ConsoleAppender. How are
your logs ending-up in /tmp?
There is obviously a lot more to the story than what you have posted.
Can we get more?

Christopher,
Please find the pasted properties file.
I did perform any of the steps that I am supposed if I got to use log4j,
but it still create muse(name of my web-app).log in /tmp directory with a
message like this in catalina.out.

/tmp/tomcat7-tomcat7-tmp/muse.log
True that I am using log4j not juli in the webapp. This is how I am getting
the handle in the class files.
public static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Crossword.class);
This is the log4j.properties file in the WEBINF/classes folder of the
webapp.
I tried few things like appending the line log4j.logger=debug with no avail.

This list tends to strip attachments from posts. Please re-post with
your configuration file.
I see you said log4j.properties above... until now, you gave us the
impression that you were using JULI (which is the default: using log4j
with Tomcat at the server-level takes some work). Are you trying to
use log4j or was that a typo?
