localhost.log vs. catalina.out
Hi, this seems to be a very obvious question, but I couldn't find anything in
the forums about it.
What's the difference between those files? catalina.out contains everything
localhost.log does, plus other messages? Messages related to tomcat
initialization and stuff?
I never used localhost.log for debugging purpouses, always went straight to
catalina.out.

Hello,
If I may add more information :
In a production context, you should never use catalina.out to find
application errors.
Everything should be logged into the juli and/or log4j log files.
Anyway, catalina.out will always contain non catchable errors.

catalina.out should be where standard error and standard output for the
Tomcat process are redirected. localhost.log is dependent on how you
configure any <Loggers> in your server.xml.
If you are separately configuring logging using juli or log4j, then your
configuration can do all sorts of things.
catalina.out is always stderr and stdout IIRC.
