Eclipse Tomcat log files

Question

I find the similar question - answer

But it doesn't help any. Near .metadata I didn't find any files *.log. May be Tomcat when run from Eclipse doesn't write log files? Thanks.

Solution 1

Look in workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\logs

Solution 2

Yes. If you want the logs like those for a default Tomcat 6 installation started using startup.bat, you need to add the following JVM arguments:

-Dcatalina.base="C:\Tomcat6"
-Dcatalina.home="C:\Tomcat6"
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file="C:\Tomcat6\conf\logging.properties"

Also add C:\Tomcat6\bin and C:\Tomcat6\lib to the classpath if necessary
