Hi, We are in a process of upgrading from Tomcat3.2.2 to Tomcat4.1.27. I have a question about logging in Tomcat. I configured server.xml to point context logging to specific file name in logs directory something like: <Context path="/mydir" docBase="mydir" debug="0" reloadable="false" crossContext="false"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="mydir_log." suffix=".txt" logVerbosityLevel="WARNING" timestamp="true"/> </Context> I want my System.out.println messages printed from this context go to this file, but it is not the case, they go to general catalina.out.

Tomcat redirects System.out and System.err (see catalina.sh):
..
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
  >> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &
..

It really depends how these messages are generated. If you are using System.out.println I think the only way is to set System.out within your webapp: System.setOut(new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("yourfilename"))));

But if if you're using a logger .. well, configure it accordingly ;-)
