See, just as I thought.... You have the console appender attached. So if you want your logstatements to occur only in the logfile (=log4j logfile) and not on the console (=tomcat logfile) simply remove the console appender
1) Leave wrapper.properties remains unchanged 2) In log4j.properties change the following line: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, stdout, file, mail CHANGE TO => log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, file, mail 3) In log4j.properties delete some lines: log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%t] %x - %m%n The jvm.stdout will still be there (as it should be!!), but your logstatements won't appear on there anymore. They will only appear in your log4j.log file. I hope this solves your question, although this is explained VERY clearly in the documentation.

I am using tomcat 1.3 and I am also using log4j to control my logs. But I got 2 logs at the same time. one is at tomcat\logs\jvm.stdout which got set up at wrapper.properties(tomcat's log) and the other one is at tomcat\mylog.log which is set up at log4j.properties(log4j's log). I want to use log4j's log and disable tomcat's because tomcat's log doesn't have size control and backup control. But I couldn't do it. Anybody can tell me how to do this?
