Re: catalina.out

[Cynthia Jeness <cj@goldencode.com>]

As part of the start-up script under Unix/Linux, both standard in and standard
out are redirected to "catalina.out".  If you do not want this, then you need
to change the script.    The name of the script depends on how you installed
Tomcat.  For example, on our AJUG Linux system, I used an RPM and the name of
the script is "/usr/bin/dtomcat".

With regard to other logging, it is pretty hard to stop the logging.  If you
do not specify a log for your individual context, then the logging will go to
the default for all contexts (localhost_<date>.txt).  Keeping the "debug"
level at "0" should help limit the messages to only serious problems.

My primary problem with Tomcat logging is that it does not provide a Logger
class which supports a rolling appender style log.   We use "log4j" for our
own servlet logging, but there is still all the logging that  Tomcat does on
its own.
