Fixed in 6.0 and 7.0 trunk. These should be included in the next releases of each line.

It's possible that some defaults have changed in log4j or something like that, and the problem is only now manifesting itself. But I think that very few people re-configure Tomcat to use log4j logging for the internal stuff. > I guess juli logging provides everything most people need? I think most people stick with JULI logging because: a) it's the default b) it meets most people's needs c) configuring logging in general is confusing and tedious log4j, of course, provides lots of stuff that JULI cannot do (log to syslog, log to SMTP, log to JDBC, etc.), but that most people don't really care to do. On all our projects, we use log4j for application logging but have never bothered to configure Tomcat to use log4j because it's just not necessary. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3lQr8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBQvgCdHGEXc6LESDNIkiQDTDubQMe4 QIoAn2dhVpQr1Fm+xHHBLI9OfEtCLRZH =KYcE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
