Trying to understand Tomcat logging

E

Tomcat 5.5.9
Windows 2000
JDK 1.4.2

I would like to view a stack trace if an uncaught exception is thrown.
The Tomcat docs say:

"Tomcat 5.5 has done away with localhost_log which you may be familiar
with as the runtime exception/stack trace log. These types of error are
usually thrown by uncaught exceptions, but are still valuable to the
developer. They can now be found in the stdout log."

Does anyone know the location of "the stdout log"?

Of course the first place I looked was TOMCAT_INSTALL_DIR\logs. There
is no log in there called "stdout" or anything like it.

When I start Tomcat, I open a DOS window and run Tomcat's startup.bat
file. As a result, stack traces and other output does show up in a DOS
window. However, I would like to send all that output to a text file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

E
