Java – Tomcat startup logs – SEVERE: Error filterStart how to get a stack trace

javaloggingtomcat

When I start Tomcat I get the following error:

Jun 10, 2010 5:17:25 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
Jun 10, 2010 5:17:25 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/mywebapplication] startup failed due to previous errors

It seems odd that the logs for Tomcat would not include a stack trace. Does somebody have a suggestion for how to increase the logging in Tomcat to get stack traces for errors like this?

Check the localhost_yyyy_mm_dd.log OR localhost.yyyy-mm-dd.log logs that Tomcat creates, these typically store that type of info. I wouldn't expect the full stacktrace to be dumped to standard out.

Java – How to convert a stack trace to a string

Use Throwable.printStackTrace(PrintWriter pw) to send the stack trace to an appropriate writer.

import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

// ...

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
e.printStackTrace(pw);
String sStackTrace = sw.toString(); // stack trace as a string
System.out.println(sStackTrace);
