Okay, here I am, my first Java lines. I downloaded tomcat 4.1.27 sources and perform the following in :
src/share/org/apache/catalina/logger/FileLogger.java

Added a line

import java.lang.String;

In the import part of the file, Added :

private String localhostname = "";

to define the string near the suffix String declaration.

Then, I fetch the local host name like this :

  public String getLocalHostName() {

    return (localhostname);

  }
As far as I understood it, it should return a string containing the local hostname.

And then, I modified that :

    try {
       String pathname = dir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator +
          prefix + date + localhostname + suffix;
       writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(pathname, true), true);
    } catch (IOException e) {
       writer = null;
    }

And now, my friends[1]... I need to compile that class, but I can't find a way to make it aware about all the things it imports. I understood I can declare this class (using CLASSPATH) before the bootstrap and it will "overwrtite" or "surrender" the tomcat class. But, how can I buid it ?

Thank you for your help and sorry to bother you with possibly trivial Java questions.

François.
