DateFormat in java.util.logging logging.properties - Please help
Hello
I have problem with properties file for my logger.
Everything is ok except one thing: the date format.
The question is how to say in my application.logging.properties, that the dates should be formated in particular way?
In log4j it was (is) possible in way like this:
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=$d{dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss,SSS} %p [%t] %c - %m%nwhen I use java.util.logging I always get the dates in form like this:
Jan 8, 2004 1:09:42 PMThe question is how to set date format pattern to for example: dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss,SSS using properties file, to have the date in form like this:
08-01-2004 13:09:42,768Thank You very much.

Hi,
did you find out how to do this?
I'm after the exact same thing.

Can't load runtime properties in java.util.logging.LogManager
This should be so easy, what am I doing wrong?
I have the following logging.properties located on my classpath:
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
Test.level=FINE
Test.handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandlerI have a very simple Test.java file that should load the new properties file and print out the known logger names (ie Test).
I've also tried putting Test.java in a package, it didn't seem to matter.
public class Test {

String name = this.getClass().getName();
//this properties file is should be sitting in same dir as Test class
java.io.InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("logging.properties");
try {
//get log manager instance
java.util.logging.LogManager lm = java.util.logging.LogManager.getLogManager();
//read the new configuration
lm.readConfiguration(is);
//print out list of logger names
java.util.Enumeration e = lm.getLoggerNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out.println(e.nextElement());
//print logger for this class!
System.out.println("getLogger("+name+"): "+lm.getLogger(name));
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
try {
is.close();
is = null;
} catch (Exception e) {}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test1 = new Test();
}The output I get from this is a single logger name, and then null for my desired Test logger.

OracleLog.properties for java.util.logging
In the Oracle JDBC FAQ the answer to the question "How do I configure java.util.logging to get useful trace output from Oracle JDBC?" <http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#36_03> mentions the file "OracleLog.properties" provided in the "demo.zip" file.
I cannot find the file "OracleLog.properties" anywhere?
Any suggestions?

Getting no output from java.util.logging.FileHandler
I am new to Java as is the company I work for, but we have just landed a contract that specifies J2EE as the platform, so here we are. :-) Please bear with me.
I have been charged with determining our logging architecture and it looks like what is available in java.util.logging will do well (though we may use log4j). However, at this point I am just trying to get anything to work and not having much luck.
We are using JSF on the front end and I have created a very simple JSF page to test logging. The relevant code is below and I hope will be self explanatory: This code is not meant to be efficient or anything. It is just a proof of concept.
public String button1_action() {
// User event code here...
try {
Logger l = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(Page1.class.getName());
l.entering(Page1.class.getName(), "button1_action");
l.info(this.textField1.getValue().toString());
l.exiting(Page1.class.getName(), "button1_action");
java.util.logging.Handler h = l.getHandlers()[0];
h.flush();
catch(Exception ex) {
//I have tested this and we aren?t catching any errors.
System.err.println(ex);
return "";
}My logger.properties files looks like this:
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level= FINEST
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = c:/sun/logs/test-%u.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatterI have developed and tested this in Sun Studio Creator 2004Q2 What is happening is that I am getting three log files in c:/sun/logs
test-0.log, test-1.log and test-2.log. The first two contain output from various sun components. (sun.rmi.transport for example). The third log remains empty. (zero length)
I have also deployed the test app to a tomcat 5.0.28 server and get similar results. The only difference is I get only one two log files and the second one remains empty.
Any assistance or suggestions as to what direction I should be taking would be appreciated.
--KenDo not use default logger as getLoggers[0] , but use your java.util.Logger.FileHandler and add filehandler object to log your fButtonActions and you do not need to mess with logger.properties too.

Can't create log file with java.util.logging
Hi,
I have created a class to create a log file with java.util.logging
This class works correctly as standalone (without jdev/weblogic)
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
String logFileName = dateStr + "SEC" + ".log";
Handler fh;
try
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName);
//fh.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());
fh.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
logger.addHandler(fh);
logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Initialization log");
// force a bug
((Object)null).toString();
catch (IOException e)
logger.log( Level.WARNING, e.getMessage(), e );
catch (Exception e)

System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}and I call it in a backingBean, I have the message in console but the log file is not created.
TraceUtils.initLogger("SEC");why?
Thanks for your help.I have uncommented this line in logging.properties and it works.
# To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead.
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandlerBut I have another problem:
jdev ignore the parameters of the FileHandler method .
And it creates a general log file with anothers log files created each time I call the method logp.
So I play with these parameters
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.
I want only one log file, how to do that? -
Hi,
I have doubt in logging api provided in java 1.4.
I have a simple program to get the logger and output log into it.
This is how the program looks.
LogTest.java
import java.util.logging.*;
import java.util.*;
public class LogTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
LogManager manager = LogManager.getLogManager();
Logger l = manager.getLogger("global");
System.out.println(l);
l.severe("Test");
System.out.println(manager.getLogger("ivy"));
System.out.println(manager.getLogger("test"));
I able to get the instance of the global logger, but im not able to get instance of other logger. I getting null for all the other logger
test.properites
=================
handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
ivy.level = INFO
.ivy.level = INFO
=================

SEVERE: Test
null
null
I also tried the same with no config properties, Still im getting the null for logger.
Can I know is there anything that im missing. Is there any property that must be set or do i hav set some config properties.
Thanks,
SivaWell, basically that's part of the formatdefinition
that Properties uses. If you don't do it, then you
aren't really using Properties format and you'llhave
to do your own IO.Thanks for the reply. Is there anyother api or class
that can be used to resolve my problem.What is the problem? A character is escaped, but you will get : when you read the value. You don't have a problem as long as all reading / writing is done through that class. -
How is java.util.logging used to log to unix syslog?
I'm trying to log out to syslog using the java.util.logging that is now in 1.4. I've read all I can find on this topic (not much) and have solicited the used of some syslog free ware (protomatter) but still can't get this to work. I feel like I'm missing something simple here, any help would be appreciated....
Here is my latest attempt:
import java.util.logging.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import com.protomatter.syslog.SyslogHandler;
public class SyslogTest
public static void main(String argv[]){
Logger logger2 = Logger.getLogger("local3");
SyslogHandler ch = new SyslogHandler();
ch.setLevel(Level.WARNING);
logger2.addHandler(ch);
logger2.warning("this is a log message");
if (logger2.isLoggable(Level.WARNING)) {
System.out.println("Is LOGGABLE");
else {
System.out.println("Is not loggable");
When this is run nothing is printed to any of the local3 facilities. I've verified that syslog is running fine from the command line using unix logger, so the problem seems to be isolated to my java.
Thanks.Hi,
What is in your logging.properties file? Can you also include the contents of this file?

How to prevent java.util.logging from displaying pop-up dialog on SEVERE?
Hi,
I'm new to using java.util.logging. I notice that whenever I try to make a call to logger.SEVERE(msg) or logger.WARNING(msg), not only does it write the output to file (which I want), but it also pops up a dialog box displaying the exception. I don't want this pop up to appear. How do I prevent the logger from doing this?What are you talking about?

Creating a new Handler (java.util.logging API)
Hi,
I'm developping a new Handler (extending the java.util.logging.StreamHandler) and I need to get some initialisation properties from the LogManager. I was taking example from the existing Handlers (SocketHandler, FileHandler...) and wanted to use the LogManager.getLevelProperty, getFilterProperty and so on). Unfortunately these methods are not public.
Is there any good reason for that ? As we are still dealing with a beta version, can't we have them public (same old Open Source problem).
AntonioI am in a similar situation and agree completely with the above comments. Using the LogManager getProperty() is incredibly cumbersome.

Hi all. We have a j2ee application deployed on Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.2.0.2) (build 050812.1879). We have used the java.util.logging package for our logging and are currently only able to view those with a level of either Level.SEVERE or Level.INFO. Any ideas how to enable the other levels will be appreciated. thanks

Using the java.util.logging in JDK1.3
I would like to use the java.util.logging classes of JDK1.4 in JDK1.3. So I tried creating a new jar with only the java.util.logging package, however, javac generates the error:
>>>>>>
bad class file: E:\ThinClient\Log\logging.jar(java/util/logging/Logger.class)
class file has wrong version 48.0, should be 47.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
<<<<<<<
I tried placing the jar both in classpath and bootclasspath during javac and still was not successful, is there any way of getting around this, other than re-implementing this or getting some third parties implementation such as Apache's log4j?check out Lumberjack in sourceForge

'Lo all -
I'm new to Java, so bear with me on this question - I'm sure it has a simple answer.
I am using the following code to create a new Logger object:
public class TAGLogging {
private Logger oLog;
private FileHandler oLogFile;
private String sLoggingFolder = "AppLogs";
private String sFormattedDateTime = String.format("%1$tY%1$tm%1$td_%1$tH%1$tM%1$tS",Calendar.getInstance());
private String sCallingClass = new Throwable().fillInStackTrace().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName();
private String sCallingMethod = new Throwable().fillInStackTrace().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName();
/** Constructors */
public TAGLogging(String sLogFileName) throws IOException {
this.initialSetup(sLogFileName);
public TAGLogging() throws IOException {
String sLogFileName = sLoggingFolder + File.separator + sFormattedDateTime + ".xml";
this.initialSetup(sLogFileName);
/** Methods */
private void initialSetup(String logFileName) throws IOException {
oLogFile = new FileHandler(logFileName);
oLog = Logger.getLogger(sCallingClass);
oLog.addHandler(oLogFile);
oLog.setLevel(Level.ALL);
}Everything is being logged correctly to the /AppLogs/yyyymmdd_HHMMSS.xml file. The problem is that there is another file that is being created in my home directory, which incidentally, is not where the program is located. The name, java01.log, matches the default logging.properties file set up, but I have removed all that and changed the file to the following (minus all the comments):
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level= INFO
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = ALL
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
The java01.log file contains the exact same contents as the file I am purposely logging to, the AppLogs/yyyymmd_HHMMSS.xml one.
Does anyone have any clue what is causing this file to get created, and if so, how do I stop it?
Message was edited by:
malakhMan, I REALLY hate to do this, but it looks like I may be forced to work around it instead of fixing the issue. I'll have to add some code to manually remove the java01.log file when it's done writing to it.
Navy - Turns out that Log4j is pretty much the same thing as java.util.logging, except on steroids. It is almost identical syntactically, just has more options and more flexibility than JUL. -
Enabling java.util.logging for Toplink
JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 Build 3673 running Embedded OC4J (jdk1.5.0_02).
I'm trying to get Toplink to log to a custom handler (a la java.util.logging) while running Embedded OC4J, but nothing I've tried works.
If I use the java.util.logging.LogManager to loop through and print out all of the existing loggers, none of the 145 listed in the Embedded OC4J environment mention anything about toplink. So presumably Toplink is not running in "java" logging mode. I'm not using toplink workbench which seems to have a UI checkbox to enable java logging, and I haven't found a way to turn it on using JDeveloper. I've tried using the system property -Dtoplink.log.destination=JAVA (no effect) and adding my handler to j2ee-logging.xml (couldn't find my custom logging handler class, and won't help anyway if toplink isn't using java.util.logging), and various attempts at hacking sessions.xml with using log-type and java-log elements (I couldn't get them right--xml parse errors).
What do I need to do to get Toplink to log to a custom handler?
TIA,
ClarkHi Clark,
You can use either java or server log when running an application in OC4J.
1 When you run a CMP application, use system property (e.g. Dtoplink.log.destination=JAVA)
2 When you run a non CMP server application, use the logging tag in sessions.xml (e.g. <logging xsi:type="server-log"/>)
You have the following options to get TopLink to log to a custom handler
1 If you want to do the entire configuration from logging.properties, remove all handlers/loggers declarations from j2ee-logging.xml and in that case all configuration will be from logging.properties
2 Use a combination of j2ee-logging.xml and logging.properties. You can define certain attributes in j2ee-logging.xml. They are "name", "class", "level", "errorManager", "filter", "formatter" and "encoding", and they correspond to the attributes of java.util.logging.Handler. Attributes in subclasses of Handler are not supported. All other properties for the handler are defined in logging.properties. j2ee-logging.xml is processed on top of logging.properties, which means j2ee-logging.xml takes the precedence for certain attributes/properties. Take FileHandler for an example,
j2ee-logging.xml:
<log_handlers>
<log_handler name='my-handler' class='java.util.logging.FileHandler'
formatter='java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter' level='INFO'/>
</log_handlers>
logging.properties:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = %h/java%u.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 10000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 2
If there are no properties defined in logging.properties, it will use its default values, which are documented in the FileHandler javadoc.

Java.util.logging: write to one log file from many application (classes)
I have a menuapp to launch many applications, all running in same JVM and i want to add logging information to them, using java.util.logging.
Intention is to redirect the logginginfo to a specific file within the menuapp. Then i want all logging from all applications written in same file. Finally, if needed (but i don't think it is), i will include code to write logging to specific file per app (class). The latter is probably not neccessary because there are tools to analyse the logging-files and allow to select filters on specific classes only.
The applications are in their own packages/jars and contain following logging-code:
// Redirect error output
try {
myHandler = new FileHandler("myLogging.xml",1000000,2);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Could not create file. Using the console handler");
myLogger.addHandler(myHandler);
myLogger.info("Our first logging message");
myLogger.severe("Something terrible happened");
...When i launch the menuapplication, it writes info to "myLogging.xml.0"
but when i launch an application, the app writes info to "myLogging.xml.0.1"
I already tried to leave out the creation of a new Filehandler (try/catch block in code above) but it doesn't help.
Is it possible to write loginfo to same specific file?You should open/close it somehow at every write from different processes.
But I personally prefer different file names to your forced merging, though.
