I am running tomcat 5.5 on a java 1.5 vm. I want to turn tomcat logging (via java.util logging) up for debugging but if I set everything to FINEST there is so much logging that It takes far too much time to start up. I am trying to trim down some of the excess logging to make this more manageable. One of the packages producing excessive logs is org.apache.tomcat.util.digester. I am trying to turn this package down, but found that I cannot affect it by turning down the logger of that name with the following line in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/logging.properties:
org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.level = INFO Rather, the only logger I have found that affects it is org.apache.commons. The problem is that this then blocks all of the commons logging which I want. Is there a way that I can just turn down the logging on the tomcat.util.digester package? Is this a bug?
