Note that Tomcat 5.5.x doesn't do this, so this behavior would seem to
be caused by something different within Tomcat 6.0.26.
For JULI logging, what is different is when logging gets initialized.
In Tomcat 6.0.x, the java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler (which outputs to
System.err) gets initialized early and outputs to the original
System.err. Later in Tomcat 6.2.x startup, System.out and System.err
are replaced with a SystemLogHandler that outputs to the original
System.out. I believe this helps with the per webapp logging features
of Tomcat. This accounts for the red and black for Tomcat 6.0.x. It
may be a similar issue for Log4J.
In Tomcat 5.5.x using JULI, the System.out and System.err replacement
occurs first, so ConsoleHandler outputs to the replaced System.err which
eventually goes to the original System.out. What this means is that you
don't have access to the original System.out and System.err as Tomcat
takes control of them first.
Cheers,
Larry
