Hmm: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html For SLF4J (via a quick Google search): http://code.google.com/p/tomcat-slf4j/ http://jbrisbin.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/change-logging-package-to-slf4jlog4j-in-tcservertomcat/ I've not used SLF4J, so I have no comments on the above. And here's a logback-slf4j-tomcat implementation: https://github.com/grgrzybek/tomcat-slf4j-logback I've not done the above, so I have no comments. I've not tried anything other than the standard Juli logging for Tomcat. I might investigate the log4j mechanism (seems least invasive) and then use the syslog appender for centralized logging. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
