No. Am actually a little confused by the docs on the swallowOutput param. >From what I would understand from the param name by iteslf, it would imply that std output from the context is ignored/swallowed. But from reading the docs, it says: "If the value of this flag is true, the bytes output to System.out and System.err by the web application will be redirected to the web application logger." Which makes me think that if it is true, the the web logger is used to log the output? Just to be safe, I added it in an tried to turn it to true and false. False made no difference at all (as expected since it is the default setting). Setting it to true caused no log files to be genereated at all. Really strange.... even more confusing. Anyone have any ideas why the java logger and log4j would work differently when trying to log the root loggers? On a similar note, is there a way in that case to log anything a context logs to stdout to individual files? The goal would be to have all stdout from context1 logged to context1.log, anything from context b to contextb.log, etc... Thanks!
