title: Configuring Logging for an Embedded Tomcat from Maven plugin
body: <p>I'm using the Tomcat7 Maven plugin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.tomcat.maven&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;tomcat7-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;version&gt;2.0-beta-1&lt;/version&gt;
              &lt;configuration&gt;
                      &lt;update&gt;true&lt;/update&gt;
                      &lt;contextFile&gt;${basedir}/conf/context.xml&lt;/contextFile&gt;
                      &lt;tomcatUsers&gt;${basedir}/conf/tomcat-users.xml&lt;/tomcatUsers&gt;
              &lt;/configuration&gt;
   &lt;/plugin&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run my app as follows (which runs tomcat embedded)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mvn tomcat7:run</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>THE ISSUE: There is no catalina.out log file? </p>
  
  <p>I want to turn on logging for the Realms so I can debug something.  In the ./target/tomcat/log dir there is only access_log.* no other log files.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried messing with the ./target/tomcat/conf/logging.properties file to no avail. </p>
  
  <p>How can I configure logging for this Tomcat? </p>
