Jay, Thanks a bundle, this worked great. I had one of those moments of revelation thanks to your post - took some time to revisit streams! So, I created 2 streams, one to System.setOut, and the second to System.setErr. Now I'm writing to sysout when I want to, and when exceptions are thrown, I get a stack trace in the syserr log. Isn't life great! Thanks again, Dave

See if the following does what you want: public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { super.init(config); // // Redirect standard out to a file. // try { BufferedOutputStream output = new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream(servletRoot + "/servletError.log", true)); System.setOut(new PrintStream(output, true)); } catch (Exception e) { logMessage(e, "An error occurred when opening the log file."); } ...

If you provide your servlets with an "init (ServletConfig config)" method, you can then use the "ServletConfig.getSevletContext ()" methd to get the servlet's context. This provides "log (String msg)" and "log (String msg, Throwable throwable)" methods, which may help with your problem? ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
