Unable to write logs out to FileAppenders or RollingFileAppenders

[Robin Clarke <ju...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

 I cannot seem to get any logging data written to file type appenders
(FileAppener and RollingFileAppender) and am hoping someone can point
out what I am doing wrong.

 I seem to be able to manage what is logged to stdout without any
problems. The files do get created, but nothing is ever written to
them.

 I am using Tomcat 5.5.9 with JDK 1.4.2.

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks
robin

public class HomeAction extends Action {

    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(HomeAction.class.getName());

    public ActionForward foo() {

        log.debug("This is a logging statement.");

    }
}
