user is left with no message if an error occurs early during startup

           Summary: user is left with no message if an error occurs early
                    during startup
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When an error occurs early during startup of Tomcat, nothing is written to the
logfiles (presumably because the loggers are not initialized at this point). To
make the situation worse, the window containing Tomcat closes before the user
has got any chance to read the messages. This also happens if Tomcat was started
from the command prompt.

My proposals are the following:

1. Don't open Tomcat in an own window if it was started from the command prompt.
Why don't we direct stdio to the command prompt that started Tomcat?

2. In the case that Tomcat needs its own window, why not let the user decide
when to close it? At least a 5 second delay would be appropriate.

Regards,

Andreas
