Tomcat5-5 and logging [kind of solved :)]

Hi!

I just emerged tomcat5-5 and everything worked out fine.
In my application is a small bug, but tomcat doesn't write anything to /var/log/tomcat-5.5/catalina.out
I think it's because I start tomcat with the /etc/init.d-script, but I have absolutely no idea...

Anyone with more ideas?

Thanks and
regards
Christian.

I just found this one: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129761.
I removed "--background" from the start-script and now it really logs to catalina.out.
Only a workaround, but it seems to work

Cheers

This is the bug tracking this issue, Bug #162379, and it's a known one. For the most part all logging should go to catalina*.log including exception. Only bad code or stderr/stdout logging from within beans or other nested code tends to rely on that file for exception output.
