OC4J and Logging

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to send all my logging information from a deployed application to OC4J's application.xml? I've read the documentation on logging and it was not very helpful.
Any help would be appreciated. We would probably implement Java's logging framework but have yet to figure out how to connect our custom deployed application logging to OC4J's logging.
Thank you.

Hi ,
I was finally able to see my custom log through Application Server Control.Hope this helps someone in the future.
First I tried adding an entry like
<log>
<odl path="../log/Application1-Project11-WS/" max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000" />
</log> to the applications orion-application.xml. (http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/products/as10g/101300/B25221_03/web.1013/b14432/logadmin.htm)
This created a log.xml (xml version of application.log) in ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/instance_name/application-deployments/log/instance_name_default_group_1/Application1-Project11-WS folder. This could be viewed through AS Control Logs->OC4J-><instance name>-><Application name> -> Diagnostic message logs ->log.xml.
Now since I wanted my custom log to appear in the same location, I removed my changes in orion-application.xml and changed my path in j2ee-logging.xml to the same path where log.xml was earlier created.
I set the path as follows:
<log_handler name="integration-handler" class="oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory">
<property name="path" value="%ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/%OPMN_PROC_TYPE%/application-deployments/log/%OPMN_PROC_TYPE%_%OPMN_PROC_SET%_%OPMN_PROC_INDEX%/Application1-Project11-WS/"/>
<property name="maxFileSize" value="10485760"/>
<property name="maxLogSize" value="104857600"/>
<property name="encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<property name="supplementalAttributes" value="J2EE_APP.name,J2EE_MODULE.name,WEBSERVICE.name,WEBSERVICE_PORT.name"/>
</log_handler>
<loggers>
<logger name="oracle.integration" level="ERROR:1" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="integration-handler"/>
</logger>
</loggers>
where Application1-Project11-WS is the application name.
and my java class calls :
Logger theLogger = Logger.getLogger("oracle.integration");
theLogger.severe(text);
thanks
