The Tomcat JULI logging is an implementation of java.util.logging (aka JUL), which documentation is here, http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html#package_description http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/Level.html http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/logging/index.html etc. To make a brief summary, there are two levels where log messages are filtered: a) at the category (aka "logger") level If level of a category (if not specified then its parent level is taken) does not match the message, it will be rejected by the logging system and will not be processed at all. That is what these lines are for: org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener.level The categories form a hierarchy, and the default level is specified by .level= INFO Note, that the "org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost]" category is for the messages logged through Servlet.log() API calls, which I think is rare. Usually applications use commons-logging calls and their category names are different. Thus the defaults (.level=INFO) apply to them. There is no ".level= INFO" in Tomcat's logging.properties because the defaults are provided by JRE through its logging.properties. But you can always add such a line by yourself, e.g. .level= FINEST will cause a lot of messages being processed b) when writing the message out (aka "handler") level If handler level does not match the message, it will be skipped (but may be printed by other handlers). <categoryname>.handler setting attaches handlers to a category. I think you missed a). By the way, > .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, > java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler I hope that those lines were wrapped by the mailing software. You cannot wrap lines in a properties file like that (though you can if you end previous line with '\'). see java.util.Properties JavaDoc.
