No Timestamp in catalina.out

catalina.out contents are actually system.out-s so you shouldn't
expect any timestamps there, unless you have a logkit like log4j and
configured your logger to go for standard out (which is bad :-))

However, we had same problem and have a workaround for this:
We are starting a Thread in our configuration servlet which just does following:
private static long startupTime;
static {
startupTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
}

private void log() {
System.out.println((System.currentTimeMillis()-startupTime)+" " +new
Date().toString()+" -MARK-");
}

public run(){
while(true){
try{
sleep(5000);
}catch(InterruptedException ignored){}
log();
}
}

if you set the thread to daemon you will have no problems with
container app. reloading.

Common guys i need help on this ,since its effecting our support to
production.
I dont have any clue what to do on this
I am using Tomcat5.0.27
The Logging Pattern in Catalina.out is missing with Timestamp .
I am getting blank instead of TimeStamp.
I was using same Tomcat version in my local machine and i can able to see
the timestamp in Catalina.out.The only difference is we changed
server.xmlport of 8080 to
8015.Will that cause any problem.Or is that i am missing any thing???
Here is my catalina.out
