ConsoleAppender and Tomcat
Hi all, I'm new to log4j and am having trouble printing to the
'console'. I'm able to set a DailyRollingFileAppender and print to
that no problem. I'm hoping I'm simply confused as to 'where' or
'what' the console actually is. I understand it to be that linux
command window which I used to issue the './startup.sh' command for
Tomcat. Can anyone advise? I did not find any suggestions in faqs or
trouble shoots.

You can also change the logger that TC uses. Its defined in server.xml:
<Engine defaultHost="localhost" name="Catalina">
<Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
Go here to see list of possible loggers:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/index.html
Try using SystemOutLogger and it should do what you want it to.
cheers,
Karan

this is beginning to be more of a Tomcat question, but, what the hey.
in TOMCAT_HOME/bin:
./catalina.sh run
(note it's not "start", rather it's "run", this runs tomcat 'inline' in
the console window, you'll see anything that would go into catalina.out
go to the console window you issued the command)
I still think catalina.out is better to find out what's going of course,
but I do use 'run' from time to time (easier to CTRL-C it to shut it down)
cheers,
Paul

Thx Paul, this is exactly where the msgs are going. Now, I've done a
little investigating with no immediate success. Can you tell me how I
can re-direct these messages to print to a Linux command window
instead of printing to the file catalina.out, as I intended, i.e. how
do I tell Tomcat that standard out is the console from which I started
Tomcat in? I found nothing related to catalina.out in server.xml
although I did see where catalina.out is created in catalina.sh.

If you have a standard Tomcat setup, look in:
$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out
This is where stdout goes to with Tomcat configured out of the box.
