Argh, should have thought of just going to the wiki :)
And I should learn how to make additions to the wiki however in the
mean time, I'll post it here:
I find it very useful to capture the Monitor and WOTaskd logs by
adding something like the following to the plist in /Library/
LaunchDaemons. (Note that the /Library/WebObjects/Logs should already
be owned by appserver so there are no permissions troubles with
writing the logs here.)
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/Library/WebObjects/Logs/womonitor.log</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/Library/WebObjects/Logs/womonitor.log</string>
For the record, I also modify SpawnOfWotaskd.sh and have it capture
logs to the same folder. Very useful if your application won't launch
when you click the 'go' button in Monitor. Something like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Modified by Mark Ritchie in Mar 2008
# - We now keep a log of any troubles while launching an application.
#$@ 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &
LOG=/Library/WebObjects/Logs/SpawnOfWotaskd.log
echo "************" >>${LOG}
echo "date: `date`" >>${LOG}
echo "args: $@" >>${LOG}
$@ 1>>${LOG} 2>&1 &
This script lives in /System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/
wotaskd.woa/Contents/Resources and gets over written each time you
install an updated copy of WebObjects. This has hit me in the last
couple of weeks when I installed a beta for some other
development. ;-) Thankfully, I had a backup.
See you at WOWODC!
