You can't have log4j route exception errors to the log file if you don't
catch the exception and pass it to log4j... If you allow the exception
to propagate all the way up, it will be logged by the container. Short
story: if you want to control where something gets logged to, you need
to control how it is logged.

Hi Laurie,

Thanks for the reply! I found the "swallowOutput" attribute in the
Tomcat context that caused the exceptions to be placed in my application
log. However, I'm now setting up global exception mapping in struts so I
can handle unexpected problems without showing the user a stack trace.
Making no changes other than adding a single global exception mapping
for java.lang.Exception allows me to display a better error page to the
user, but from reading the documentation I would have though that this
would break my logging, since I didn't set the logEnabled property on
the exception interceptor to true. However, all logging seems to work
correctly. Do you know why this is?

Thanks!

With debug="true" I receive the message "DEBUG: error downloading remote
script"

There is no shortcut to learning a new framework. I suggest buying a
couple of books and taking your time reading the documentation and
trying out the examples that are available. Search engines is also a
good way to find relevant information. Anything you need to get
started, both for Struts 1 and Struts 2, should be available at
http://struts.apache.org/

The exception is the result of something in your JSP -- probably a bug
in some of the embedded Java code. I would suggest:

1) wrapping the entire JSP with <% try{% > and <%} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace(); }%> to isolate the problem

2) if that's not enough to solve it, start simplifying the JSP, until
you figure out which portion is causing the error

You should also consider replacing all the scriptlet and runtime
expression fragments with equivalent Struts or JSTL tags and/or moving
logic into your action.
