Tomcat server access logs?

[Rick Castello <ri...@punk.net>]

I've searched the site, the FAQ, and what of the mailing lists
I could find, to no avail.

I am having great difficulty finding info on access logging for
Tomcat.  

I am running Tomcat solo, with Cocoon.  I am *not* running
it along with Apache server, as I am only serving XML/WML
pages- nothing static.

Does anyone have any help on access logging?
I need to track site stats, but don't get useful access info in my
tomcat.log file.  Is there a special verbosity that gives "normal"
access info, like Apache?

Many thanks!

Authentication

[Miles Daffin <mi...@cwcom.net>]

Hi Tomcatters,

1) When using <auth-method>FORM with TC 3.2 beta 7 you can specify an error
page - which is nice.
Is it possible to do the same thing for <auth-method>BASIC ? Failed BASIC
auth results in a blank page - not great.

2) Using TC TC 3.2 beta 7 I can get <auth-method>BASIC to work fine -
protecting a whole app.
I tried shifting to <auth-method>FORM & odd things happened. The website is
found OK but it TC seems
to go into some kind of redirection loop - the browser status message
flickers rapidly between
"Website found, waiting for reply"
and
"Redirecting to: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login/login.jsp"

I know everyone's really busy but - any ideas?

Tomcat 3.x does not have any access log style logging (although such a
module could be written fairly easily).  If you run Tomcat behind a web
server, all of the accesses to Tomcat will be included in the web
server's access log.

Tomcat 4.0 includes access log support for standalone mode "out of the
box.".
