How to get debug messages out of Tomcat (JBoss 4.0.1RC1)?

[koreth]

I'm trying to debug a problem and I'd like to turn on Tomcat's debug logging. I have tried editing my jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml file to include a logger, like so:

<Logger className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.Log4jLogger"
 verbosityLevel="DEBUG"
 category="org.jboss.web"/>

(I inserted that directly above the existing Logger) and for my trouble, all I get is this message:

00:15:21,682 INFO [STDOUT] Can't find resource org.jboss.web.tomcat.session.LocalStrings org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.WebCtxLoader$ENCLoader@970110
00:15:21,686 INFO [STDOUT] [Ljava.net.URL;@1ec6b9

What else should I be doing to open the floodgates of Tomcat's debug log messages?

I am using 4.0.1RC1 because I was running into bug 1037726 under 4.0.0.

try conf/log4j.xml of your server configuration like "default", "all"

Thanks, that helped. In case someone else comes across this thread looking to do the same thing in the future, I ended up making two changes in addition to the one in my initial message. First, I edited conf/log4j.xml and added:

<appender name="DEBUGCONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/
>
 </layout>
 </appender>

 <category name="org.jboss.web">
 <priority value="DEBUG"/>
 <appender-ref ref="DEBUGCONSOLE" />
 </category>

That causes Tomcat's debug messages to be printed to the console without doing the same for all the other modules.

Next, I extracted the file org/jboss/web/tomcat/tc5/session/LocalStrings.properties from tomcat50-service.jar and moved it into org/jboss/web/tomcat/session (under the deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar directory). That prevents the error message I quoted, and allows Tomcat to display a few additional debug messages.

Hope that's helpful to someone. Thanks, janilsal, for the pointer.
