rotating catalina.out using log4j
Hi,
I am trying to implement the catalina.out log rotation in the development environment (for now and will implement to other environments once I figure this out) using log4j. I am running apache-tomcat version 5.5.25 and downloaded the apache-log4j-1.2.15 and commons-logging-1.1.1. I copied the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib and created the log4j.properties in the common/classes. However, when I stop and start the apache-tomcat the cataline.out is not rotating.
Here is the my directory listings in the commons/lib direcotry and commons/classes directory:
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/common:
ls lib
commons-el.jar jasper-runtime.jar naming-factory.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar jsp-api.jar naming-resources.jar
jasper-compiler-jdt.jar log4j-1.2.15.jar servlet-api.jar
jasper-compiler.jar naming-factory-dbcp.jar
should I change the highlighted filenames to commons-logging.jar and, log4j.jar?
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/common:
ls classes
log4j.properties
tail classes/log4j.properties
#
# Application logging options
#
#log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache=INFO
#log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=DEBUG
#log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=INFO
is the above line uncommented correct for rotating catalina.out rotation?
My environment is:
Sun Solaris 10
I thank you for any help you provide.

David,
Thank you very much for your help with log4j

catalina.out is just the sink for System.out and System.err, it's not
managed by logging facilities. It's not even seen by jvm, as the
redirection is done in the startup script (using the shell '>'
redirector). If you configure a log4j logger for tomcat that uses an
other file (see below our simple config) and teach all your webapps to
not use stdout and stderr, you shouldn't see anymore things appear in
catalina.out. If you still need rolling of file during startup, you
will
need to ask external tools (like unix logrotate) to do it for you.
......common/classes# cat log4j.properties
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R

log4j.appender.R.File=........./logs/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=30MB

log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
