RE: Direct debug statements to text file rather spooled file using Tomcat

Hi Chad,
One of the ways of doing that can be to set System.out and System.err to a new 
PrintStream of any file in IFS as following:

        // redirect standard out
        String fname = "/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/logs/your_out_log.txt";
        File f = new File(fname);
      PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new 
FileOutputStream(f)), true);
      System.setOut(printStream);
      System.out.println("Log started: " + new java.util.Date());

      // redirect error out
      fname = "/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/logs/your_err_log.txt";
      f = new File(fname);
      printStream = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new 
FileOutputStream(f)), true);
      System.setErr(printStream);
      System.err.println("Error Log started: " + new java.util.Date());

You can do it in any servlet init method and specify in your webapp web.xml to 
load this servlet on a startup as following:
<servlet>      
   <servlet-name>
      com.aero.login.Login
   </servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>
      com.aero.login.Login
   </servlet-class>
   <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Does anyone know how to direct debug statements/System.outs to a text file
using Tomcat?

 

Thanks,

Chad
