Java logging API (1.4) -- where's the file?

Where on God's green earth does the log file get written to?
I am doing some very simple code:
import java.util.logging.*;
public class SimpleLogging {
   static Logger jcfeLog = Logger.getLogger("test1");
   static Logger sampleLog = Logger.getLogger("test2");
   public static void main(String [] args)
      jcfeLog.warning("sample warning");
      sampleLog.log(Level.INFO, "sample info entry");
      byte[] moreInfo = new byte[10];
      //fill moreInfo with some binary info
      jcfeLog.log(Level.FINEST, "Some obscure event", new Object[]{moreInfo});
} doesn't get much simpler, plus I am using the default properties file. I get the console output but simply cannot find the log file anywhere on my system. Just for kicks, here is the config entry for the file:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern =%t/java%u.logmy understanding is that it should go to the temp directory?
also, why aren't the specs for the config file listed anywhere, all these %t, %u, etc.....????

The FileHandler API gives the meaning for the % symbols.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/logging/FileHandler.html
Your pattern indicates that the file should be put in the system's temp directory, with the file name java###.log.
Maybe you should try calling the addHandler method on your Loggers, and add a FileHandler to write the messages to that file.

  • Practical use of Java Logging API

    There was a recent technical tip about the Java Logging API, but after reading it I still don't understand how to use it in a real situation.
    Can anyone help me with this with a practical example?
    At the moment I have try-catch clauses that catch exceptions and print a message in a System.err log that I can consult if there's a specific problem.
    How should I be using the Logging API? I feel sure that it can help me, but can't see how.
    Thanks for any practical information.

    What if you don't want to write to system.err anymore? What if you need to write something to the windows event log? What if system.err is irrelevant (nt service), ...
    Btw, lots of examples on the JDK1.4 logging api:

  • Problem with java logging API

    Hi there
    It`s the first time I`m using (I have to use) the standard java logging API.
    My need is to integrate it in an existing web-application based on struts.
    So my first step was to include the following code into an Struts Action-class:
    FileHandler file = new FileHandler("/pathToLogFile/myLogFile.log",true);
    file.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
    logger.info("create info");
    By intention is to have exactly one log-file for the whole application, but indeed I'm getting multiple log-files, even for each request of one and the same Action/Servlet class, like
    myLogFile.log
    myLogFile.log.1
    myLogFile.log.2
    myLogFile.log.3
    Why does using append=true not work in the constructor of "FileHandler"
    Do I have to close the FileHandler each time I've used it?
    Is this a known issue?
    Thanks for any responds!

    @ Stone.li
    First, thanks for your answer.
    perhaps my question was quite confusing .... but my need is just
    to establish the logging API in an existing Web-Application and to have exactly one log-file for the whole application. This means I would have to provide in each servlet a FileHandler referencing to the log-file. I thought it would be part of the job of the logging API to synchronise this file access.

  • Officejet 7410 - fax from Hp Solution Center - where is the file stored?

    I used the fax option to send a fax via the HP Solution Center - it then scanned each page and faxed to the destination - however, I would like to see the file that was faxed/scanned to verify - the help file indicates it is sent to "a file" on the computer - where is the file located?

  • Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac?

    Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac? I would like to restore several windows and tabs I had open earlier, but the restore previous session menu item does not appear to be available. I had to install and use an older version of Firefox (3.6) to access a website (Fedtraveler.com) that is not compatible with Firefox 6 and is seems to have cleared out the previous session information. I thought I would use Mac OSX Time machine feature to restore the Firefox file where this the previous session info is kept but I don't know what it is called nor how to find it.

    That is the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Two of the Screen Savers folders are initially empty, yes.
    If you want to use photographs for a screensaver, don't put them in those folders, though. Store them somewhere else, then click the "+" button on the screensaver preferences page and choose "Add folder of pictures".
    If you want to use them as backgrounds for desktops, again, don't use the Screen Savers folders, just put them in a new folder somewhere else, then juse use the "+" button on the Desktop preferences pane.
    If you're setting background images for Spaces (virtual desktops), set each one individually. Remember to close System Preferences once you're done with each desktop, then switch to the next one, right-click on the desktop, and click Change Desktop Background again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Where is the File 'Tropical_7.tga'?

    A few days ago I created a project using "beachresort_title" under Titles & Text > Travel > Beach Resort.
    The title seems to work as expected, however every single time I open the project file I get this window ("Where is the File 'Tropical_7.tga'?") where I am supposed to browse to this TGA file.
    It seems the project file should know where it is. But I also searched my computer high and low and can't find it.
    Why is this happening and how to fix ?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Premiere Elements 12 does not support .tga files which were often used in Title Templates in much earlier versions of Premiere Elements.
    From your prior threads, you appear to be working with Premiere Elements 12 in Windows 7 64 bit. So, it is curious why you should be getting "Where is the file Tropical_7.tga?" when you select Titles & Text/Travel/Beach Resort.
    Is there a blue pan at the top right corner of the thumbnail for the Beach Resort choice in the Premiere Elements display of title templates? If so, right click that blue ban and select download now. Does that action solve the problem in any way? If not, then
    Let us do this to troubleshoot...
    1. Look for the file beachresort_title.png in the following path
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    Online
    Title Templates
    All_Lang
    Travel
    Beach Resort
    and in the Beach Resort Folder you should find the beachresort_title.png file. Is it there? Could you post a screenshot of what you find in that Beach Resort folder? If not, then just post what you find there by name.
    We will base the next phase of the troubleshooting based on your reply. More later.
    Thanks.

  • "Where is the File?" Window

    When you open an existing Premiere CS4 project and it fails to find a file, a "where is the File?" dialogue box opens.  This contains a very useful check box "Display only exact Name Matches".
    This worked perfectly with CS4.1, but, for me, it no longer works now I have updated to CS4.2.1.  This is a nuisance!
    Is it just me, or is this feature broken now?

    No worries!  You just got me hoping for a while there.
    I tend to have sets of clips named sequentially, so I have to be careful when this box comes up.  I have had some odd results when I have clicked on the wrong file.

  • Where is the file that contains my contacts ?

    Hi ...  Where is the file that contains my contacts ?  I want to restore my contacts from a CrashPlan previous backup ?

    It's worth a try anyway, in the worst case = an error from Contacts being unable to read the database, you can simply delete the restored files again.
    In such case, or even as a first step, you may try to use the "Import..." procedure by pointing to a *.abcddb database file from your backup.
    Hint: Before system upgrades presenting me with new versions of Contacts or Calendar, I always backup my databases separately as well per "Export..." in archive format. No trouble so far.

  • Where is the "File" "transfer purchases" button?

    Where is the File>Transfer purchases button in itunes? Can't find it anywhere!

    You should have a File drop-down menu at the top of your computer's iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on it then try pressing Alt-F and the File menu should appear (on iTunes 11 it's File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
