> The file conf/logging.properties in CATALINA_BASE has a special meaning during Tomcat startup:
> its precence leads to Tomcat using JULI-Logging with conf/logging.properties as the configuration.
> Case 1: User removed Tomcat standard conf/logging.properties after Tomcat installation as part of the procedure usually used to let Tomcat log via log4j.
> If there is no conf/logging.properties the openejb installer for Tomcat produces such a file.
> During the next restart Tomcat detects that file and by the logic in catalina.sh it will then switch automatically to JULI-Loggin for its own purposes. It will try to configure JULI via conf/logging.properties, but the syntax of that file if for log4j, not juli. So Tomcat logging will be broken.
> Case 2: conf/logging.properties coming from the Tomcat installation exists.
> (not tested) openejb will add its own log configuration lines (because in the standard Tomcat file there are no openejb entries) and will thus produce a file with some statements for JULI, and some for log4j, making it unusable for both logging frameworks.
> Choosing the name conf/logging.properties was unfortunate, because that file already had a special incompatible meaning for Tomcat. It seems you should either choose a different file name or a different directory.
