Christopher, Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I did not understand much of it. Can I ask some questions about what you said?
> log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, stdout, TOMCAT >This should only allow ERROR or higher messages to be logged, unless >another logger has explicitly set a lower log level to be logged (and >that logger is being used). That does not appear to be the case, here. Are you saying the line should be: log4j.rootLogger=ERROR > log4j.rootCategory=debug, OBIS >This is likely to be the source of the problem: you have defined the >root logger (rootCategory is deprecated in favor of rootLogger) to have >a log level of DEBUG. This will affect any log messages emitted by your >application. I want my application to emit debug messages. Is there a way to do this that does not involve setting the category to DEBUG? >SmapUtil is in the org.apache.jasper.compiler package, so you need to >add configuration for that. It looks like you already have one: > log4j.logger.org.apache.jasper.compiler=ERROR This is the basic problem, this does not stop jasper logging. Does the fact that Jasper is logging to the application log file indicate that this line should be something different? My config files are called log4j.properties. If you can, please elaborate on your answers. I'm sure you are telling me how to solve the problem I just don't understand.

This will affect any log messages emitted by your application. Note that certain loggers have been silenced wrt DEBUG messages: > # Suppress the tomcat logging whilst DEBUG is switched on > log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core=ERROR > log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.session=ERROR > log4j.logger.org.apache.jasper.compiler=ERROR ... and others have been allowed to spew everything: > # Spring logging > #log4j.logger.org.springframework=TRACE SmapUtil is in the org.apache.jasper.compiler package, so you need to add configuration for that. It looks like you already have one: > log4j.logger.org.apache.jasper.compiler=ERROR If your config file really is called log4j.config, then it might not be properly read: the file is typically called log4j.properties. Are you manually loading thr configuration file, or are you allowing log4j to automagically load it for you? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAknM9yAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCNbwCgqXOareEOR6EH35+MoBzDaV2t UnMAoLagZAH/rvolh4NKL5xGI7S0DDVc =GBmr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/turning-off-logging-for-Tomcat-5.5.27-components-tp22742535p22745193.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
