I was actually wondering about these.

I make it darn sure that my locale is set up OK, but then any different logging configuration will defeat that. Which is why I am right now switching over completely to the scenario where Tomcat only starts with the manager webapp builtin and further webapps are deployed after the initial startup. This still requires to parse the output of the manager webapp, but at least it's better than the default :/ -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
