Tomcat--> web.xml --> context --> element query

[Ben Bookey <be...@gistec-online.de>]

Hi Yoav (et. al.),

Thanks for the info. regarding switching off debugging compeltely. I am
aware of the swallowOutput and the DefaultContext parameters.

Could you please tell me which parameter I could use, to switch-off the
debugging completely inside the context( presumably its the same for
DefaultContext).
I have tried setting debug="0" but it doesnt work as you described, i.e.
that the
logfile size remains at 0 bytes. Please find an extract from my context
below.

<Context path="/InGeoWebEntryTool" docBase="D:\Tomcat\Tomcat
4.1\webapps\InGeoWebEntryTool" reloadable="false" debug="0"
swallowOutput="true">


I hope you can help.

regards,

Ben
p.s. what paramter can I set to garantee that the servlets in
/work/Standalone/* is always re-generated each time
     Tomcat is re-started.

Hi,
It's possible to redirect System.out/System.err from each webapp to the
context's log instead of catalina.out using the Context's swallowOutput
attribute.  Further, you can add swallowOutput to the DefaultContext
element, thereby establishing that for all webapps using one parameter
in in server.xml.

However, tomcat will still use System.out (which goes to
$CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out by default) for some of its own
logging: you can configure that further by configuring commons-logging
(see the tomcat FAQ entry on configuring tomcat's internal logging).  I
think even with these configuration entries, however, the catalina.out
file will still be touched, so it will be produced although stay at zero
size.

You can probably avoid even the latter using OS-specific redirection
syntax, such as 2&>1 /dev/null or whatever.
