How to limit stdout.log file size when running Apa

问题:

Is there any way that I could limit the size of the stdout.log file in Apache Tomcat? When running as a service system.out statements go to the stdout file. But I need to have a mechanism where I can control the size of the stdout log file by creating new files after reaching 2GB size or something like that. As of now a new file is created everyday but that is not sufficient.

回答1:

In Windows you can go to go to Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat6.0\bin and run tomcat6w.exe as administrator Under the Java tab, in the Java Options section add the following: -Djava.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=25000000

This will set the default stdout.log file to 25MBs before it rotates to a new log file.

回答2:

If you wanted the limit to be 10 megs, you'd use the following conventions

With log4j:

 -Dlog4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB 

With JUL:

 -Djava.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=10000000
