In my java code, I have System.out.println(...) statement which is invoked by jsp. But I don't see anything being written to tomcat console. I've googled around and seems no clear answer on it.

I'm using tomcat 6.0.

Thanks

Usually (on default setup) the messages of the System.out.println(...) statement can be found in your ./apache-tomcat6.0/logs/catalina.out logfile.

    there are some logs under logs directory, one of them is catalina.[date].log. But it doesn't have the output messages. – Frank Fu Jul 08 '10 at 15:40
  • the catalina.[date].log is a logfile that is turned over. if there are catalina.[date].logs, there must also be the catalina.out log somewhere. try: "find / -name catalina.out" – Erik Jul 09 '10 at 06:53
  • under installation home. I did "find . -iname catalina.out", didn't return anything. Not sure what's wrong. – Frank Fu Jul 09 '10 at 19:02
  • what logfiles beneath catalina.[date].log are there? Is there a catalina.[date].log file with a date from yesterday? Which is the newest date? – Erik Jul 10 '10 at 07:22

    there are files like catalina.2010-07-08.log, host-manager.2010-07-08.log and manager.2010-07-08.log – Frank Fu Jul 12 '10 at 05:31
  • ok - then there must be a catalina-logfile too, since these files are the archived files from your logfile-rotation of the day before. I'm sorry, that I can't search the file for you on your system. Here you will find help about tomcat-logging: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html – Erik Jul 12 '10 at 06:51

Verify apache/tomcat/logs/stdout.log file.
