Howdy, >1) Is there a reason why the startup.sh script that comes bundled with >Tomcat 5.0.16 adds commons-logging-api.jar to the CLASSPATH? As far as >I can tell, it's the only script that uses it.
Yes, there's a good reason: tomcat internals use commons-logging to do their logging. >2) Is there a recommended way to control what gets spewed into >catalina.out? The fact that all the messages I'm getting have an INFO >tag would indicate that this should be possible. Yes, add a commons-logging configuration file to common/classes, e.g. as suggested in this link off the tomcat FAQ: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#catalina.out >3) In any case, why doesn't Tomcat just come with commons-logging.jar >and log4j.jar bundled in /server/libs? Tomcat does not want to tie you into a specific logging implementation, e.g. log4j. Tomcat wants to make its logging available to webapps by default, so server/lib is not a possible location. >4) Is there a FAQ or HOWTO on recommended approaches to handling logging >in Tomcat somewhere? It won't hurt to search the archives of this list, there are many answers there. The link above also has some information.
