I am running both Websphere 4.06 and 5.1.
When running 4.06, I get all the standard out messages in the console.
When I run with 5.1, I only get the loaded class… messages.Is there a way to get the standard out messages in the consle window?
Metavante,
I believe you have to use the websphere console to reconfigure its logging settings. There’s no way to do it directly through the connector at the current time.
I guess I dont understand why it just works in WAS 4.x.
The location of the log files changed in WAS 5.1.I wish I knew. Configuration of WAS is a difficult . I’d have to check the doc located here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ws51help/topic/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/welc_troubleshooting.htmlThis is not a WebSphere configuration problem.
Myeclipse needs to listen to the corrent port for the log messages (or something).Actually, what is echoed to the Console View in Eclipse is exactly what is sent to the “console” (or stdout) by the application. The Console View isn’t specifically a Log View. However, it can generally be used as one since most application servers will log to standard out as the default. For example, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic, Resin, etc all do this. WebSphere apparently doesn’t do that. It sends some high level messages to standard out, and thereby to the Console View, and other messages it directs to its log files. My suggestion earlier was that if you want to see the log output in the Console View, WebSphere will have to be configured to send its log output to standard out, rather than to its default log file. Another workaround to see the file is simply to use File > Open External File…

The location of the log files changed in WAS 5.1.It worked in WAS 4.x because by default all log messages went to standard out, just like all the other application servers.
You are correct. I am looking to the standard out messages.
The Standard out message are going to default_server_stdout.log.If you can catch the stdout in was 4.x, why cant you catch was 5.x?
Also I see no File, open external file.
Metavante,
As I mentioned earlier, the confusion you’re experiencing is caused by IBM changing the default behavior of WebSphere 5.1 with respect to log management. To be sure you get everything configured the way you want, I’ve put together a tutorial that walks you through setting up the log configuration so that everything will end up in the Eclipse Console View. The tutorial is available here:
