= Tomcat HowTo Get More Information from Logging

Tags: [[HowTo]]

/Originally from [[http://blog.trifork.com/2011/03/18/debugging-the-dreaded-severe-error-listenerstart-and-severe-error-filterstart-tomcat-error-messages/]], which refers to getting more information about listener start errors, but I think it should apply to all error logging.

== Process

1. Create a file `logging.properties` in the `WEB-INF/classes` directory in Tomcat.
2. In the file paste the following text:

{{{
#!ini
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
}}}
