viewing logs in web-console?

[bezdomny]

Is it possible to view stderr and stdout using the Web-console? I've looked through the mgt interface and couldn't find anything promising. Is there a logging mbean I don't know about? Any suggestions would be great. I really need to have this functionality because of the hoops our ops folks make us go through to request the logs. Thanks!

Everything that shows up on the console is placed there by Log4J. You could change the log4j.xml file to log that information to a file instead (or in addition to), and then display that log file. Of course, the web-console would not be able to display the log without modification.

Thanks Peter. My log4j setup has the stderr and stdout going to /server/default/logs/server.log, so I have a physical file to catch the logs I was just hoping I missed something in web-console that would give me access to this file directly. I might look into writing an MBean to do this. Any advice on mbean creation would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Probably you don't need an MBean here. I would simply have a servlet pipe the output from the log file to web browser. It would be only a dozen lines of code or so.
