I am running tomcat-5.5.9 on windows XP professional, 1GB RAM, java SDK 1.5. I have configued tomcat from within MyEclipse settings with just the default settings, nothing added to classpath, startup, etc.
When I start tomcat directly from %TOMCAT_HOME%/bin/startup.bat, tomcat reads %TOMCAT_HOME%/common/classes/logging.properties and creates the appropriate log files. When I start tomcat from Eclipse using MyEclipse Application Server connector, tomcat starts and runs fine in both debug and run mode, but it never creates the log files specified in logging.properties. BTW – log4j config files for deployed applications are always read and logs created.

Rob,

If you drop the properties file into the root of your /src tree, and redeploy your project and restart Tomcat, does that work? (I’m trying to narrow down if this is a classpath issue)
Did you modify start.bat to perform any additional initialization steps? Do you have the log4j JAR files in your common/lib directory?
No modifications to start.bat. I have not added commons-logging.jar or log4j.jar to common/lib directory. My applications are setup for log4j, and log4j logging works just fine whatever way tomcat is started.
I tried adding log4j.jar to common/lib directory. I still don’t get the tomcat logs when starting from MyEclipse. I do get them when starting externally from start.bat. So, no change.
Rob,
Can you try adding <path-to-tomcat-home>/common/classes as an additional classpath directory on your connector settings at Window > Prefereces > MyEclipse > Application Servers > Tomcat 5 > JDK? It might simply be that Tomcat tries to load the properites file with the classloader and it’s just not on the classpath when starting from within MyEclipse. I don’t believe this directory is added by default.
I do not understand how is this different from the first response that I received from rkalla. I have tried all options for adding this directory under the Windows > Preferences > MyEclipse > Application Servers > Tomcat 5 > Paths.
Windows > Preferences > MyEclipse > Application Servers > Tomcat 5 > JDK only provides for adding JVM arguments.
Rob,
Sorry there was a miscommunication between Scott and myself, these are infact the same suggestion. We are looking into possible causes of this, in the mean time are you able to use remote debugging and external launching as a workaround? http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.genuitec.myeclipse.doc/html/quickstarts/remotedebugging/index.htmlThanks for the clarification. I am able to work around this issue as you suggested, so this is not holding me back.
rkalla and scott: are you guys still looking in to this problem? I have updated to latest jdk, latest myeclipse, etc., and the problem still exists.
In lui of all the other items we have targetted for 4.1 there currently isn’t anyone assigned specifically to this issue.
Has there been any progress on this bug ?
My system was working fine, until I upgraded to myeclipse 4.1.1 and then I encountered the same problem.
My logging.properties filein C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\classes is ignored when I start tomcat from within the IDE.
It works fine when I start the service outside of Eclipse.
