Note that log4j is not necessary to do this. You only need log4j if you want either prefer log4j in general, or want to use some of the logging capabilities that JULI does not provide (e.g. syslog, etc.). > I found a link at > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html and was > following the instruction but I am unclear for these steps.

Re-read the page. There is a link to the "extras" component which includes a section describing how you get the "extras" package. > * Replace $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar with > output/extras/tomcat-juli.jar. > > Does this mean that I move the jar from that location and create the > folders to put it in another location to have :C:\Program > Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.26\output\extras? No. It means take the file output/extras/tomcat-juli.jar and replace $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar, just like it says. You don't have to create any directories or move anything anywhere. > * Place output/extras/tomcat-juli-adapters.jar in > $CATALINA_HOME/lib.I cannot find the jar file in the Log4J download > or Apache files so where is it located? The file in question does not come from log4j... it comes from the Apache Tomcat "extras" package.See above: the "extras" package has pretty clear download instructions. > Is Log4J the best logging to use with a Java web app? Do you have > any suggestions? Log4j is one choice. Tomcat includes a fully capable logger that you can use to write all your logs to files. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4y3FMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PApOQCgwzFC8fRfM3p6QBkPuo+eI4Pk QVwAnArZrdU+TeGgJ9hklibDkG/7BCA3 =uNU4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
