Hi Boris, Thanks for the prompt response,
We have log4j in the project that we are deploying to tomcat, so I tried your solution without taking out the log4j from our classpath and wanted to see what happens. And there was not much, the same result. Then a friend of mine suggested configuring the JSF logging using the log4j.properties so I added the following lines log4j.logger.com.sun trace log4j.logger.com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl trace log4j.logger.com.sun.faces.lifecycle trace And it started working even though took out CATALINA_OPTS setting from the Catalina.bat file. This is all mind boggling to me, because supposed the java.util.logging is not compatible with log4j. I guess I just can say its JSF, and will look into how this can be possible later.

There is an additional line (commented out) which allows you to use the java.util.logging.FileHandler additionally: # "handlers" specifies a comma separated list of log Handler # classes. These handlers will be installed during VM startup. # Note that these classes must be on the system classpath. # By default we only configure a ConsoleHandler, which will only # show messages at the INFO and above levels. handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler # To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead. #handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler Also specifiy java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = %h/java%u.log with the correct path to your logging directory and a better name for it. > 2. Also JSF uses java.util.logging to do its logging, I was wondering > also how can I turn on the this logging in tomcat. If this is a default installation and no other apps are running in it, you just have to remove any log4j.jars from the classpath.
