I have a webapp in tomcat for which I wish to set the log level to debug. I am not using JULI but log4j for the webapp. I have log4j-1.2.15.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder and below is the log4j.properties file under WEB-INF/classes folder.

    log4j.rootCategory=INFO, Console
    log4j.logger.com.opensymphony.xwork2=INFO
    log4j.logger.freemarker.cache=INFO
    log4j.logger.org.apache.struts2=INFO
    log4j.logger.org.apache.xml.security=INFO
    log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.httpclient=INFO
    log4j.logger.org.mortbay.log=INFO
    log4j.logger.net.sf.ehcache=OFF
    log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
    log4j.appender.Console.encoding=UTF-8
    log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM HH:mm} %c{1} %-5p - %m%n

and in the class files I get the handle like this...

    public static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Crossword.class);

Where Crossword is a class in the webapp. I can see the INFO level logs being logged to muse.log in the tmp directory, now what changes do I need to make for it to log at DEBUG level. Thank you.

Change INFO to DEBUG for the package or class you want, or for the rootCategory if you want DEBUG everywhere.

Read the documentation.
