Where does output from bean code to System.err go?

["Jakob Færch (Trifork)" <jr...@trifork.com>]

I'm deploying an application where beans System.err.println's exception, 
then throws a new exception without wrapping the original. The 
application is the Adventure Builder sample application - so making the 
code behave is not an option.

The "println instead of logging" behaviour makes debugging quite 
uncomfortable, since I can't seem to find the System.err.println output 
anywhere. It doesn't seem to go into var/log/geronimo.log.
Errors printed from ejbCreate()'s during startup appears on the console 
(interweaved with log4j output).

Can anyone help me locate the missing output?

Thanks; this combined with a tweak to the log conf file to not append 
log output to console made me see the error output.

In Geronimo 1.0 some new startup scripts have been provided that are 
very similar in operation to Tomcat's startup scripts.  There are two 
ways Geronimo can be started that result in output being redirected to a 
file:

1. geronimo.sh start
2. startup.sh (this script invokes geronimo.sh with the start option.

The geronimo.sh start command issues a command along the lines of:

    java -jar bin/server.jar --long  >> var/log/geronimo.out 2>&1 &

Run the geronimo.sh script without any arguments for help (and other 
ways of starting geronimo, e.g. in the foreground or under a debugger).

Well, If you are starting the Geronimo process from a command shell, many
shells allow for redirection of standard outputs

for example

prompt>startScript 2>/var/error.out.log

where '2' indicates the handle for the standard error stream [a C & Unix
convention]

then
prompt>tail -f /var/error.out.log
