[xwiki-users] Fwd: Redirecting logs to a file instead of console on tomcat?

Now as per http://logback.qos.ch/manual/joran.html , i tried to use file Appender to log the message to file* but no help*. Here is added code snippet in logback.xml <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <file>myApp.log</file> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppendert"> <Pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> <root level="debug"> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: mohit gupta &lt;motgupta(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 10:06 PM Subject: Redirecting logs to a file instead of console on tomcat? To: XWiki Users &lt;users(a)xwiki.org&gt; I have gone thru http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Logging. As per logback.xml(inside in MyApp/WEB_INF/classes), looks like it relies on the fact that container will redirect all the console to logfile automaticcaly. But it is not happening. I am using tomcat 6. i want to put all the possible logs i.e log.info.log.warn,log.error,log.debug,log.fatal inside log file For logging i am using below code snippet private static final Log log = org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(AuthServiceImpl.class);// declared as insiance variable under AuthServiceImpl.class then in my public method i am doing the logging as log.error("Testing AuthServiceImpl Reply = "); But its printing the logs on tomcat console. Guys really i have no idea how to print the to file instead of console.Inside logback.xml(inside in MyApp/WEB_INF/classes) i can see below setting. I have really no idea what is happening? Thanks in advance.
