Environment Variables

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to point to the JDK version you specify during installation. If you change your J2SE SDK installation you will need to reinstall Java WSDP.

All other custom system properties can be set in the file JWSDP_HOME/conf/jwsdp.properties as follows: 

http.proxyHost=webcache 
http.proxyPort=8080

You can override any of the properties in JWSDP_HOME/conf/jwsdp.properties by using the -D... argument to any of the start scripts. For example,

Unix: catalina.sh -Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

Microsoft Windows: catalina -Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

Modifying the Default Logging Level

The Java WSDP supports the Jakarta Commons Logging API. By default, the technologies in the Java WSDP have their logging level set to warn. The following levels are available, in ascending order of granularity: 

fatal
error
warn
info
debug
trace

You can change the default level of logging for Tomcat. For example, to change the default level to debug, specify the following properties in JWSDP_HOME/conf/jwsdp.properties. 

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=debug

Logging output appears in the file JWSDP_HOME/logs/catalina.out.

You can set the logging level for more than one logger by specifying additional properties. See the release notes for individual technologies to learn how to set the logging level for each technology.

The default logger, SimpleLog, assumes that logger names are hierarchical. To set a default log level for all the technologies with package names beginning with com.sun.xml, you can say: 

org.apache.commons.logging.log.com.sun.xml=info

You could add another system property definition to specify logging for Tomcat classes. For example, use 

org.apache.commons.logging.log.org.apache.commons.digester=warn

to receive only warnings from the Digester module that Tomcat uses to parse web.xml files.

For more information about configuring logging, see the Jakarta Commons Logging API documentation. In particular, refer to the Package Description.
