Logging in App Server 7 and App Server 8

Question

Hi,
We have an application (servlets/MDBs/EJBs) running in the Sun Application Server 7 that we want to run on the Sun Application Server 8 (J2EE 1.4.2).
The application has logging facilities with various objects having their own java.util.logging.Logger...
java.util.logging.Logger m_logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger( "ServletLogger" ) ;
m_logger.fine( "How do I get this in the App Server log file?" );
To enable the above logging in App Server 7, I would simply set the global App Server logging level to "FINE" using the admin console. How can I do the same with the App Server 8?
I've tried using the admin console to set the App Server logging levels to "FINE", but they seem to only effect the App Server itself and not the code it is running. I've also tried adding the following properties in the "Logging Levels" page of the admin console...
ServletLogger FINE
ServletLogger.level FINE
.level FINE
but they don't seem to make any difference? Any help will be most appreciated!
Cheers,
Paul

Answer 1

Goto the admin console (port 4848 for default domain).
Click on Topmost Leftmost link -- "Application Server."
choose the "Logging" Tab.
Choose the "Log Levels" tab.
add a new property
         com.company.app.applogger        FINER and in your code, :-
        Logger applogger = Logger.getLogger("com.company.app.applogger "); Now if only I knew how to keep a separate log file for this.
