How to log stdout output in Tomcat?

Question

Is there a way to log all stdout output to the catalina.log file in Tomcat? (i.e. everything that gets printed to System.out.println())

The console wind

Answer 1

If I look at the default logging config of tomcat 5.5 in logging.properties:

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].handlers = 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

That looks to me as if stdout of web applications might be logged to files only for level INFO and above, regading that http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html states that in tomcat JULI logging configuration loggers do not use parent's handlers when they are assigned their own handlers. Also the file should be prefixed localhost and not catalina. But then I do not understand how the output comes to your output window :/
