We are using a HibernateMonitor class that implements IMonitor (the code was written by Simon Robins and Eric Everman). The code calls this logger:

static private Log log = LogFactory.getLog(HibernateMonitor.class);

And it writes all session calls to this. The thing is, I can't find any log file that contains the info that is supposed to be written. I have a copy of the code running on a Linux machine running Tomcat, and by default it prints all of those to catalina.out file, which doesn't seem to exist in my Windows Tomcat directory anywhere. I have set all my Tomcat logging options to be very verbose, but still don't see anything. I'm pretty sure that this is just a simple issue with logging and I don't know enough, so if someone could just point me in the right direction, it'd help a lot.

Where did you get this class from.? Sounds like a Tapestry extension class. I would suggest you isolate your problem to a simple expanle that calls the logging susyem - if you using log4j then make sure your log4j.properties are on the class path.
