Because $TOMCAT_HOME/bin is the current working directory (of the Tomcat process) and you are telling logback-access to write to a file called "access.log" which is presumed to be in the current directory. wchu wrote:
Hi,
Perfect! Thank you! I found the log file in the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/ directory. That brings up the question of why does the log file output by default to the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory and not the $TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory?

You should see a file called "access.log" in the current directly, or the directory where Tomcat is started, e.g. $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/.
You could perhaps post the contents of your "logback-access.xml" file.

What do the status messages say?

Hi,
Yes, I did add
<Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
to the server.xml and I do see the internal status printing to the console. I just don't see the log file being created.

Hello,
Have you added
<Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
to server.xml?
Moreover, is logback-access printing its internal status on the console? (It does that automatically unless instructed otherwise.)
