Setting default tomcat logger 5.0.28

[Ian Wootten <I....@cs.cardiff.ac.uk>]

I'm having a right job trying to configure the default logger within
tomcat. I want to use log4j and set it at a DEBUG level.

I've added all the commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar packages to the
classpath, but every time I declare the properties file I wish to use
prior to these, it doesn't seem as if the log4j.properties file I want
to be read is. The output remains the same.

I've also tried to remedy this using the same method within the
tomcatw.exe app, as I read that tomcat doesn't read the default
CLASSPATH environment variables used by Windows XP and creates its own.
This still yields no joy. Also with this app I have tried specifying the
"log4j.configuration=/file" /property using the line
"-Dlog4j.configuration=C:\src\logging\log4jservice\log4j.properties"
under the java options. Still the file does not seem to be found.

Currently my properties file lies in a different directory
foo/bar/log4j.properties which I specify in the classpath, but as I say
it doesn't seem to be picked up. I've even placed it under
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib with the jar files in
CATALINA_HOME/common/classes, under the reference of the Tomcat 5.5
version, hoping this might work..it doesn't. (Incidentally, I can't use
Tomcat 5.5 due to restrictions on the software I'm going to generate).

Log4J works fine standalone, I've built a number of apps with it, just
not under tomcat it would seem.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ian

I've managed to make some headway with this problem. I've moved my 
log4j.properties file over into the axis/web-inf/classes directory, and 
this catches all axis output, but what I want to know is how to direct 
all output to log4j. So, that initial startup stdout and stderr output 
to log4j. Is this possible?

Thanks

Ian
