Konstantin: Many thanks for your questions. I am using log4j (again, client requirement - they like the formatting and they're familiar with the configuration files). I'm currently using a fairly current version of log4j (1.2.16), as it seems to be compiled against the JDK 1.2 or lower APIs (thank heavens!). It is in the common/lib and the log4j.properties is in common/classes, as specified in the instructions referred to below (which also specifies the contents of the log4j.properties file), but that didn't produce any logging output, either in the standard out or in files. It seems to be better if I create a "setenv.bat" file with this content:
set CLASSPATH=..\common\classes;..\common\lib\org.apache.log4j-1.2.16.jar When this is placed in the "bin" directory, it is automatically run by the catalina.bat file (which I discovered on walking through the process). By default, such a file doesn't exist. This produces, at least, a "tomcat.log" file. So I am getting something. What, exactly, especially when it comes to application logging, I'm still working through.

But if you have log4j.jar among "common" libraries then commons-logging library will autoconfigure itself to use Log4J instead of java.util.logging. So the question is what libraries do you have and where. 2. java.util.logging should be configured by startup script to use Tomcat implementation of it. See how catalina.sh does that (with -Djava.util.logging etc). So the question is how do you start your Tomcat. 3. There should be only one logging.properties for java.util.logging (or log4j.properties for juli) in a classpath of certain class-loader. If there are several files, one of them wins. Do you have logging output on your console? (or catalina.out file where it is usually redirected)?
