1. Everyone on the list is a volunteer.
They answer your questions if they feel like doing so.
That's just the way it is.
Help yourself. Help others. Give more than you take.
2. No one likes to listen to your complaints.
Your disappointment should be aimed at your own lack of
understanding of the open source community.
Please try to be a better citizen.
3. I found some information on logging in the "server.xml"
file in Tomcat 3.2 Beta 4. An excerpt of the server.xml
and some fragments of some of my logs are included below
to help you see what logging on my system is like.
That's the best I can do for you in the time I've got.

Logging:
Logging in Tomcat is quite flexible; we can either have a log
file per module (example: ContextManager) or we can have one
for Servlets and one for Jasper, or we can just have one
tomcat.log for both Servlet and Jasper. Right now there are
three standard log streams, "tc_log", "servlet_log", and
"JASPER_LOG".
Path:
The file to which to output this log, relative to
TOMCAT_HOME. If you omit a "path" value, then stderr or
stdout will be used.
Verbosity:
Threshold for which types of messages are displayed in the
log. Levels are inclusive; that is, "WARNING" level displays
any log message marked as warning, error, or fatal. Default
level is WARNING.
verbosityLevel values can be:
FATAL
ERROR
WARNING
INFORMATION
DEBUG
Timestamps:
By default, logs print a timestamp in the form "yyyy-MM-dd
hh:mm:ss" in front of each message. To disable timestamps
completely, set 'timestamp="no"'. To use the raw
msec-since-epoch, which is more efficient, set
'timestampFormat="msec"'. If you want a custom format, you
can use 'timestampFormat="hh:mm:ss"' following the syntax of
java.text.SimpleDateFormat (see Javadoc API). For a
production environment, we recommend turning timestamps off,
or setting the format to "msec".
Custom Output:
"Custom" means "normal looking". "Non-custom" means
"surrounded with funny xml tags". In preparation for
possibly disposing of "custom" altogether, now the default is
'custom="yes"' (i.e. no tags)
Per-component Debugging:
Some components accept a "debug" attribute. This further
enhances log output. If you set the "debug" level for a
component, it may output extra debugging information.

<!-- if you don't want messages on screen, add the attribute
path="logs/tomcat.log"
to the Logger element below
-->
<Logger name="tc_log"
verbosityLevel = "INFORMATION"
/>
<Logger name="servlet_log"
path="logs/servlet.log"
/>
<Logger name="JASPER_LOG"
path="logs/jasper.log"
verbosityLevel = "INFORMATION" />
Here are some samples from my logs to help you understand the type of
information logged.
