Hi
Please validate the same

JDK 1.5
TOMCAT 6.0.20 / 6.0.24 ( *.zip)
Problem
1) Same Tomcat installed server on Unix creates the "catalina.out" but on
Windows it does not Why ?.
2) Know How to use JConsole but need additional info How to monitor the
Connection pool of applications running on Tomcat ...?
No idea about #2, but about #1 :
Tomcat itself does not write to "catalina.out".
Tomcat runs inside a JVM, and through the JVM, it may write some
messages to STDOUT and STDERR.
If you run the JVM (and Tomcat) inside a console window (a command
window under Windows), you will see these messages directly on the
screen, because then that is where STDOUT/STDERR end up.
If you run Tomcat as a daemon (under Unix/Linux), or as a service (under
Windows), then the first thing to look at is the way in which the JVM is
being started, to check where STDOUT/STDERR are being /re-directed/.
Under Unix/Linux, have a look at (tomcat_dir)/bin/catalina.sh, and maybe
also is in the script which starts Tomcat as a daemon. This may be in
/etc/init.d, or /sbin/init.d or in /etc/rc.d/init.d, depending on the OS.
Under Windows, you are probably running the JVM and Tomcat under a
"service wrapper" (e.g. bin/tomcat6.exe). If so, it is probably that
one which redirects the JVM's STDOUT/STDERR, and probably to the Windows
Event Logs instead of the file "catalina.out".
Note that tomcat6.exe, despite its name, is not really Tomcat.
It is really that : a "wrapper" program which starts the JVM which runs
Tomcat. The main function of this wrapper is to make the JVM "look like
a Service" for Windows.
The tomcat6w.exe is a GUI program, which allows you to set some
parameters in the Registry, for the tomcat6.exe program.
tomcat6w.exe and tomcat6.exe, together, "replace" the functionality of
the Unix/Linux startup scripts (startup.sh, catalina.sh,
/etc/init.d/tomcat e.g.).
To make matter just a little bit more confusing, some Linux
distributions start the JVM which starts Tomcat, using also a wrapper
called "jsvc". This wrapper, among other things, allows Tomcat to use
ports below 1025 even when not running Tomcat as root.
All the above relates to the (relatively few) messages which Tomcat and
the JVM which runs it, write to STDOUT/STDERR.
Tomcat components and applications normally write their logging messages
according to this :
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html
Good luck.
