"What a curious thing to say. I'm running JULI in standalone Tomcat 5.5.20 with multiple hosts with all expected log files created and log entries made."
It's what I'm observing and it's totally reproducible. For all my apps that are not on virtual hosts, logging works fine. For apps that are on virtual hosts, there is NO logging, period. Not even when the app deploys. Nothing. In my mind, the most fundamental programming tool is a logging system, often as simple as System.out.println() or equivalent. Second most fundamental would be something that actually shows me exceptions that were thrown. When I'm using virtual hosts in JBoss 4.0.5, I get none of the above. Even System.out.println() no longer works. No matter what the other virtues may be, it's useless if all exceptions are unreported. "Unless things have changed dramatically since JBoss 4.0.2, the embedded Tomcat does not have its own logging mechanism; it uses the JBoss logging configuration, located here: server\[mode]\conf\log4j.xml" But nothing in that makes it clear that something different should happen when I'm using virt. hosts The funny thing about debuggig logging is that you really have nowhere to start. When System.out.println() no longer works I have no idea what to do. This is all on a recent release of Linux btw. "Note that it uses log4j, not JULI." Hmm, ok. I have no idea, other than, it is completely broken and I've spent the last two days trying to get a simple log message to show up, anywhere, on console, in a file, in sky writing, I don't care. I can't get anything done if all exceptions are silently dropped. Any suggestions for how to force it to show me some log messages would be greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
