That's a different log file (something like catalina.2009-02-16.log). Tomcat redirects standard output and standard error in catalina.sh to catalina.out to capture any output that goes to stdout/stderr. The configuration for this is in logging.properties, here: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter The "ConsoleHandler" writes log messages to the "console" (aka stdout). This is what ends up in catalina.out. Chuck's suggestion that Tomcat "does not write to stdout" is not entirely true. Tomcat's code definitely contains portions which write directly to System.out. Mostly, these are special situations (startup errors, etc.). On the other hand, Tomcat makes heavy use of logging, and comes pre-configured to write some of those logs to the console, which is the same thing as System.out or stdout. I hope that clears up some of the confusion. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEUEARECAAYFAkmZ3GMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDVcQCVHwdTbuB9zZpphS8M3ZbExSXw sgCfePsAG5Mw4ZcfdsqjcRLITZoEn7M= =2ysD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
