[. . . ] The following table summarizes the log files and their contents: Tomcat Logs Log File catalina. log Contents Useful information about startup. During startup may log information about Maple T. A. Messages specific to the Tomcat instance. There is rarely anything useful for Maple T. A. May log exceptions not caught by Maple T. A. Like stdout. log, may log exceptions not caught by Maple T. A. localhost. log stdout. log stderr. log 29 Various other Tomcat logs Not normally useful for Maple T. A. tracking or problem diagnosis. 4. 5 Dealing with the "Error listenerStart" Problem There is a known conflict between Tomcat's logging and log4j logging by Tomcat applications. The problem's symptom is an obvious gap in log information when errors occur during certain application initialization situations. Examples of this can happen when Maple T. A. 's access to its database is configured incorrectly and when Maple T. A. encounters security problems when Tomcat Security is enabled with a multiple instance Tomcat web application structure, without compensating security policy configuration. In these cases you will see `Error listenerStart" messages in Tomcat's catalina. log, and very little else. To diagnose situations like this, it is helpful to remove the log4j jar file temporarily from <Tomcat>/webapps/mapleta/WEBINF/lib. After that (and a Tomcat restart), Tomcat will usually log a great deal more information about the situation, helping problem diagnosis. 30 5 Implementing SSL Connections to Maple T. A. Configuring SSL is largely a Tomcat operation and has little to do with T. A. The Tomcat documentation contains instructions. See for example http://tomcat. apache. org/tomcat5. 5doc/sslhowto. html. In the following, we summarize the steps. Refer to the Tomcat documentation for details. Note that it is possible to configure a Maple T. A. server to authenticate with LDAP over an SSL connection. This feature is different from enabling SSL with Maple T. A. [. . . ] Includes identifying information like first name and last name.
