BUG: Logging to console not working with Tomcat 4.1.9
I uninstalled 4.1.9 and installed 4.0.4. When I start tomcat I get pages
and pages of debug log messages on the console from the apache tools I'm
using (Struts, messenger, etc.) and my own classes. I uninstalled 4.0.4
and installed 4.1.9 and when I run it I only get 4 lines. I haven't
changed anything in my code or the tomcat directory. So I'm 100%
positive something is broken in 4.1.9 regarding outputing messages to
the console. For now I've switched back to 4.0.4 and logging to the
console is working just fine.
I filed a bug on Bugzilla, I'll post any responses I get to the mailing
list.

Well, honestly, I don't know about log4j. I know that prior to
v4.1.9 I would use System.out/err to do light logging to the
console and as of v4.1.9 it quit working. I'm not sure if
System.out/err are routed to log4j.
sorry...

The problem is when using an IDE like Eclipse. I don't have room on the
screen for another log window.
The good news is I just read on the bug report that a new feature has
been added to the nightly build which will allow this behavior to be
turned on or off, thereby allowing output to the console! I find this
extremely useful for debugging with Eclipse.

IIRC, the ConsoleAppender in Log4J just writes to System.out or
System.err, so Tomcat redirecting those streams will affect Log4J as well.
On Unix systems, Tomcat has *always* redirected console output to a file
-- but of course it's still really easy to use
tail -f $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out"
to monitor the output. On recent Windows OSs (but not 98) you can
accomplish the same thing by installing CYGWIN and using it's "tail"
command.

No I mean log4j's ConsoleAppender. So are you saying that Tomcat now
routes the log4j ConsoleAppender to a logfile as well? If so I think
that's a big problem for debugging. While running my app in the IDE I
want to see all the console output without having to switch to a text
editor and reload the log file. Can I configure Tomcat 4.1.9 to do
this??

So you mean output to System.out & System.err? As of 4.1.9 that's
been changed to go to a log file.
