Hi,
Thank you for enlightening me. One last question I promise. :-D
Is there a configuration I can set to have the log file written to the
$TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory or to the /var/logs/ directory besides passing
the <File> element for the appender that I'm using? Is the <File> setting
considered a relative path based on the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory or can I
pass an absolute URL?
Regards,
Will
