Tomcat logging.properties formatter not taking effect

Question

I\'m trying to adjust logging for catalina. My logging.properties for Tomcat looks like:

handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 2localhost.org.apache.         


        

Answer 1

But I can't get to work formatter for the output

I would assume that you'll have to modify the start up script so the format property is present before the SimpleFormatter class is loaded.

The format is forever set once the class is loaded so if the class is loaded before the logging properties is read what you place in the file will be ignored.
