Configure Tomcat Logging Programmatically

[Matthew Westwood-Hill <ma...@nuix.com>]

I am running Tomcat programmatically (embedded) and I wanted to configure
its logging so I can track inbound request.



I start Tomcat as follows:



tomcat = new Tomcat();

tomcat.setBaseDir(DEFAULT_BASE_DIR);

tomcat.getService().addConnector(defaultConnector);

tomcat.setConnector(defaultConnector);

tomcat.init();

tomcat.start();



How do I go about configuring the logging?



Cheers,

Matt

Hi,
Calling tomcat.setSilent(false) might help. Just try this and see if this
helps. Below is small funcation from Tomcat class.


    /**
     * Controls if the loggers will be silenced or not.
     * @param silent    <code>true</code> sets the log level to WARN for the
     *                  loggers that log information on Tomcat start up.
This
     *                  prevents the usual startup information being logged.
     *                  <code>false</code> sets the log level to the default
     *                  level of INFO.
     */
    public void setSilent(boolean silent) {
        for (String s : silences) {
            if (silent) {
                Logger.getLogger(s).setLevel(Level.WARNING);
            } else {
                Logger.getLogger(s).setLevel(Level.INFO);
            }
        }
    }
