Re: rotating catalina.out using log4j
David, Thank you very much for your help with log4j David Delbecq [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/12/2008 2:53:40 AM catalina.out is just the sink for System.out and System.err, it's not managed by logging facilities. It's not even seen by jvm, as the redirection is done in the startup script (using the shell '' redirector). If you configure a log4j logger for tomcat that uses an other file (see below our simple config) and teach all your webapps to not use stdout and stderr, you shouldn't see anymore things appear in catalina.out.

rotating catalina.out using log4j
Hi, I am trying to implement the catalina.out log rotation in the development environment (for now and will implement to other environments once I figure this out) using log4j. I am running apache-tomcat version 5.5.25 and downloaded the apache-log4j-1.2.15 and commons-logging-1.1.1. I copied the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib and created the log4j.properties in the common/classes.
