I changed it back to use the log4j setting as I liked it better and the
boss wants the files to rollover at midnight each night. Now when I startup
the catalina.out file is empty and the logs appear to be split between the
catalina file (not catalina.out) and the localhost file. Some of the
messages are doubled between the two files.
We will see what happens now with the swallowOutput=true. I'm so excited to
see what is there tomorrow morning. lol
