getting more detailed logging in tomcat

["Duin, Harry" <Ha...@tellabs.com>]

Hi,

 

I have set up Tomcat 6.0.10 and got my first servlet app working with
windows and Eclipse. I am looking at the files in the logs directory,
but see NO logging of the HTTP messages (including the servlet calls) In
short, I want to know more of what is going on at the HTTP protocol
level. I have spent much of the day trying to get more information out
of Apache and so far with no results. This is what I have done so far, I
am looking for input on where I am heading in the wrong direction.

 

I decided to use the built-in logging mechanism of Tomcat 6.0.10 and
extend the java.util.logging properties. According to the doc the
logging properties for Tomcat are coming from a file called
logging.properties in $JAVA_HOME\jre\lib. So I changed that by setting:

            a. .level= FINEST

            b. java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST

 

That does not work, i.e. no additional logging is given to me.

 

I also ran into a problem with specifying
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=D:\ots\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\conf\logging
.properties on the command line (I start up Tomcat manually via

D:\ots\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\bin>.\catalina.bat run).

 

When I add this -D option, my other -D option is no longer working. This
is how I add the -D options:

 

set JAVA_OPTS="-DTLAB_HOME=J:\MW\runtime
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=D:\ots\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\conf\logging
.properties"

 

Anyone have any input on how to allow 2 -D options to JAVA_OPTS?

 

Thanks. It has been a long day of trying out all kinds of logging
options. I even looked into using log4j. It seems to me that this should
not be so difficult and am wondering how I am making it so hard:-)

Don't suppose you've tried going into server.xml and enabling the
AccessLogValve or RequestDumperValve?
