diable logging in tomcat,

[vinodh]

Hi,

I am looking to ship my servlet application in a CD along with
Tomcat_5.0.28 container. But the problem is i want to diable tomcat's
logging feature because data cannot be written to a CD in the of a file
IO (As tomcat does by logging startup/error messages to the catalina
log file). How to diable this logging process so that i can have ship
my self-contained webapp without any problem. Need ur suggestions on
this issue
thanks

Hmm. Is the logger based with log4j implementation? Usually you can
deconstruct the jar file and add/update a log4j.properties file to set the
logger location and priorities.

If you can find the spot where the logger configures the output file
set it to /dev/null .
Note that this might be configured in a class and not necessarily in a
log4j.xml file.

Basically, just remove all the appropriate elements from server.xml.
Every bit of logging that Tomcat does is controlled by an XML element in
the server.xml file.

You don't seem to realize that /dev/null only exists on UNIX-like
systems. Far better to just turn logging off than redirect it to a
platform-specific file name.
