Hello, I am writing an application using Struts (2.0.11), Spring (2.5.1), and Hibernate (3.2.6), running on Tomcat (6.0.13). We have a legacy webapp running on Tomcat that outputs some important information to the default Tomcat logs. We aren't really in a position to change that application, so we're trying to update our new webapp to put all messages in a different log file. I'm trying to do this using log4j (1.2.15).
So far, I can add messages to the new log in my java code. I am also getting freemarker.cache debug messages in the new log. However, all other messages are still being put in the default Tomcat logs. For example, if the database I'm trying to access closes its connection and I don't catch the exception that is thrown, it gets printed to the screen, and put in the catalina log. I would like that exception to go in the new log file instead (and yes, eventually I will catch the exception and have struts display a nicer error message for the user). Below are the relevant parts of my web.xml, and my log4j.properties file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
