tomcat logging stdout stderr

Question

I start tomcat using the startup command in bin. How can I log to println to stdout and error to stderr instead of console? Which is the file to modify and how to modify? am using windows server 2008.

Accepted Answer

If you run `bin/startup.bat`, then Tomcat should launch in the background and stdout/stderr should be redirected to `logs/catalina.out`. If, instead, you run `bin/catalina.sh run` (note the additional command-line argument "run"), then Tomcat should run in the console and all stdout/stderr should be displayed there.
