Well, you can't make log4j take-over stdout (at least not that I know of). You might be able to hack Tomcat to to this for you, though. If you write a component like a LifecycleListener that runs a) in Tomcat's ClassLoader and b) has all security permissions (if running under a SecurityManager), you might be able to re-assign System.out to a stream of your choosing. Of course, you'd have to write a stream that was capable of doing what you want, but you might even be able to just pipe everything (probably broken by newlines) to a "real" logger that can do rotation, such as j.u.logging or even log4j. > I also tried swallowOutput (mine is Tomcat7), but it doesn't work > for me. That's only for webapps, not for the core of Tomcat. So, you're out of luck where swallowOutput is concerned. > I have to deal with it on production. That's the problem. Please > don't ask me why, just b/c that's the business I have. I certainly don't envy your position. What are you doing with all that debugging information? It's non-standard, probably impossible to parse, etc. Why not use a Filter that captures the information you *actually need* and log that appropriately? I realize you are probably operating under policy of stupidity that you can't change, but maybe you haven't thought of everything ;) > So maybe another question is how to do logging-pipe and rotate (as > you said) for JSSE? I couldn't find any JSSE-specific logging configuration, so I suspect that stdout is what you get with no other choices. That said, you still might have options. I don't know how stable pipes are on win32, but I would be comfortable launching a piped log process on *NIX to monitor a log file as long as necessary. You could definitely try it on win32 and see what happens. Something like this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped Those instructions are for Apache httpd. You can't configure Tomcat to log in this way, but you can do your own shell-based output redirection using "[...] | rotatelogs [...]" instead of "[...] > logs/catalina.out [...]" -- just hack catalina.bat. If you are running Tomcat as a service, I think you are pretty much entirely out of luck, unless there is some commons-daemon option that I don't know about to pipe stdout to a process instead of a file on the disk. Does win32 have named-pipes? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+yjCsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBysACfVg5wokI5XG3pOP2jvEHa1adU va8AnjeX+K1ZWQAWCXu71DGmVxZqgRlz =M7pN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
