Konstantin, (and I fear that this is going to raise hackles again, but I think it needs to be said) the truth of the matter is that the logging setup in Tomcat is obscure, cryptic, and in any case beyond the comprehension of 90% at least of the Tomcat users at large. I am willing to take a bet that 90% or more of the Tomcat installations worldwide just leave it alone as it comes, for fear of breaking it, and just "fix" it with scripts outside of Tomcat. So, it is really no wonder that a user would be puzzled as to how this stuff works and how to simply get a logfile out of his app. Or how to simply get Tomcat to write /one/ logfile somewhere, with no daily rotation, with everything in it, and just have it rotated as need by an outside logrotate, as is done for 99% of daemon programs under Unix/Linux.
