Re: log files in tomcat

I have also had problems with this.

As suggested I tried adding jvm.stderr and jvm.stdout logs to server.xml:

----------------------------------------- server.xml fragment
-------------------------------
<Logger name="jvm.stderr"
            verbosityLevel = "DEBUG"
            path="logs/stderr.log"
    />

    <Logger name="jvm.stdout"
            verbosityLevel = "DEBUG"
            path="logs/stdout.log"
    />
----------------------------------------- server.xml fragment
-------------------------------

But no joy I am afraid.  Is this the correct config info.

I am running Tomcat 3.2.1 on Redhat 6.2

Thanks
Jason

Re: log files in tomcat

Posted by Shahed Ali <sh...@enoor.com>.
I have modified my tomcat.sh/bat file
to have
java org.apache.whatever.tomcat start 1>/path/to/logs/stdout.log 2>&1

So when you startup tomcat , the stdout and stderr go to a file.

But since you are using windows, I am not very sure about the syntax.

just a > file.log may redirect both System.out.println and
System.err.println to
the same file.

Hope this helps
Regards
Shahed.

[more on] Re: log files in tomcat

Posted by Ross Manges <rd...@yahoo.com>.
 Hi,

That sounds like a great idea.  Could someone please tell me how to re-direct stderr and stout to a log file?  I have set every log file in the server.xml file to "DEBUG" but I still don't see the System.out.println() messages anywhere.  They don't even show up on the server console.  Your help is greatly appreciated!  I'm running tomcat 3.2.1 on WinMe (I've had the same behavior under Win98 if that helps).

RE: log files in tomcat

Posted by CPC Livelink Admin <cp...@fitzpatrick.cc>.
Actually, these are files that are generated by the jk_nt_service helper
application, not entries in tomcat.

If you want to capture the output of tomcat, you need to either a) redirect
the output to a file (on Unix you also need to redirect stderr, on Windows
stdout and stderr are much the same (I think)) or b) programatically change
the stream pointed to by System.out and .err to something else which you
have opened.
