I have a webapp that uses log4j to direct logs to several files. Within the tomcat installation used for development the logs go where expected. However in the tomcat installation to be used for production each log entry goes to the expected file and an additional entry is written to catalina_out.log.
One clue is that the pattern used to write the two versions of a log entry are different. All the log appenders are configured with the pattern %d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n This leads to a log entries in services.log like 2003-01-17 09:24:25,351 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: FactoryService 2003-01-17 09:24:25,356 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: PoolService 2003-01-17 09:24:25,357 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: MimeTypeService 2003-01-17 09:24:25,357 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: SchedulerService 2003-01-17 09:24:25,357 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: UploadService The corresponding entries in catalina_out.log are 0 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: FactoryService 5 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: PoolService 6 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: MimeTypeService 6 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: SchedulerService 6 [main] INFO org.apache.fulcrum.TurbineServices - Added Mapping for Service: UploadService where the data and time are replaced by a millisecond counter that starts from the first log entry. There are so many places to look trying to track this down involving tomcat and commons-logging, so I don't quite know exactly what to ask of this list. I don't think there are any competing configurations, so I don't think a different appender with an alternate pattern that is doing the catalina_out.log entries. Is there some configuration in log4j that would lead to duplicating every log entry for every appender to standard out with the time pattern shown above? john mcnally -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
