Print System.out.println messages into logs of Weblogic Application Server

Hi,
I use Weblogic Application Server 10.3.6 on Windows 7. The Enterprise Application (J2EE) is deployed into the 'AdminServer' of Weblogic. For debugging purpose, I have added a few System.out.println statements.
I am unable to see the print messages on any of log files available in path 'user_projects > domains > base_domain > servers > AdminServer > logs'. However, I can see them on the 'command' prompt which was used to start the server. How can I get them into one of the log files? What am I missing?
I tried reading other threads on the forum and as per them 'System.out.println' gets logged onto *.out logs which I am unable to find. Only base_domain.log, AdminServer.log, access.log are available in the location.
More Specifics:
Configuration on WLS console 'Home > Servers > AdminServer > Logging'
Log file name: logs/AdminServer.log
Min. Severity to log: Notice (tried with Debug as well)
Advanced Options:
Logging Implementation: JDK
Redirect stdout logging enabled: False (tried both options)
Log file Severity Level: Notice (tried with Debug as well)
Standard Out Severity Level: Notice (tried with Debug as well)
Thanks

Paul,
I just found this on google:
'Generally, developers put a lot of System.out.println statements in their code to perform application debugging. Normally, all standard outputs and error outputs are routed to the console where the OC4J server is started. If you want to capture the standard output and error outputs to files for logging/debugging purposes, then you can use the -out and -err options while starting up the Oc4J server to specify which files to use.'.

System.out.println in which log file

          We are using weblogic 51 server.
          We have System.out.println's in the servlets but don't see
          it in any log file. Which log file would/should
          it go to.


If you are running a shell script (not as as service) you will see it in
          that shell window, if you run it without a console window (service), you
          usually see nothing.
          If you are using a third party tool to run the server as a service (e.g.
          ServiceMill for Win2k/NT) you usually can set files where you would like
          your output to be redirected.
          If you run the server as a service and don't have this option you can do
          it yourself by setting System.setErr / System.setOut, e.g. in a
          startup-class

Where to see the System.out.println() messages

I deploy my application in Oracle9ias . I have some System.out.println() statements in java class files.
When I run the application I need to know where I can see those println() statements.

Tomcat Java Servlets, how to log System.out.println() messages

I have recently installed a new (x86) Mac OS Xserve, and am porting some Java application Servlets from an existing older Mac OSX server. All the servlets were working (I am connecting via port 9006). I have carefully used the old JDK 1.4 compiler, edited my server.xml (for port 9006) and web.xml files, etc. The Tomcat example servlets work fine, and all my (other) servlets work fine, with one exception, where I get the typically vague "java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500" message.
Trouble is, I cannot get the Java System.out.prinln statements to go to the Tomcat/logs/ log files (they are all there and updating with Tomcat HttpServlet messages), in order to properly debug.
Is there a server.xml value somewhere I can make the change?
On another minor (possibly related) point, does anyone know what the path info ='null' means in the Tomcat access log? e.g.,
StandardContext[/my_servlets]: Mapped to servlet 'myServlet' with servlet path '/myServlet' and path info 'null'
It is the only other suspicious message I get in all the logs.
One other point: my java application that fails uses threads. All the individual classes that use the threads work when run interactively, but as soon as I call them from final Serlet class that extends HttpServlet, I get a null pointer exception. Is there something unique about the Tomcat 4.1 threading that could be causing it?
I want to avoid upgrading to Tomcat 5 at this point, if I can avoid it. My applications are modest in scope, and the last time I upgraded to Tomcat 5, it took me days to get it working properly, and I lost all access to it from the Server Admin application.

I have found a solution: Via the Tomcat Admin web page I set the Context field "Swallow Output" to "true".

How to get System.out msg displayed in logs

Running SJSWSEE6.1 SP5 on Solaris
How do I get the System.out.println messages to display in the Web Server 6.1 error/access log??
Thanks..

Hi,
In your server.xml, check that the properties 'logstderr' and 'logstdout' are set to 'true'. The messages will then appear in the errors log file.
<LOG file="<path to errors file>" loglevel="info" logtoconsole="true"
usesyslog="false" createconsole="false" logstderr="true" logstdout="true" logvsid="false"/>
Also, see docs at http://docs.sun.com/source/817-6248/crsrvrx.html
Hope this helps.

Yes positiv this is how my server looks try for your self :

while(true)
Socket client = s.accept();
System.out.println("Accepted connection from " + client.getInetAddress()+":"+ client.getPort());
chatHandler c = new chatHandler(client);
c.start(); // chatHandler is derived from Thread, so we can call start()
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
chatServer cs = new chatServer();

System.out.println logged to ?

I am using Oracle 9ias 9.0.3 java edition.
I have deployed a war file successfully using EM.
i HAVE System.out.println statements in my servlets. I was unable to find any documents which tell me where these statements will be logged?
Any one help me.

Go to server properties page of OEM and edit OC4J options under Command Line Options. You will have to specify the OC4J option -out filename to capture the System.out messages. You can also specify the option -err filename to capture all the errors.
check out http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/htdocs/oc4j-logging-debugging-technote.html

System.out.println does not print out anything

I'm wonder why the dos mode does not print out the System.out.println.
My code has:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class test extends HttpServlet {
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
   HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,
   ServletException {
      System.out.println("Hello");
The compilation is ok... but it does not display anything... how come?

"System.out.print()" prints to the log file of the tomcat server. in order to print on the screen use JspWriter.
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class test extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,
ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello");
//System.out.println("Hello");
Hope this helps!

Java Beans System.out.println Log file

Helllo,
I have Forms 11.1.2 installed on linux. I developed a java bean and put some System.out.println() statements. The bean itself is working but where do i look for the debug statement logs that i am generating via System.out.println() statements.
Please let me know if you need more information, I will post asap.
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

Prabodh,
thanks, added the following line to the implementation class in java bean:
private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyBean.class.getName());
and then in the init() method, i put
logger.info("Prasad .... in init);
Does this automatically goes into weblogic managed server WLS_FORMS (in my case) standard out?
Or do i need to do anything else, i know weblogic comes up with its own diagnostic logging and is famous for supressing other loggers.... just want to run this by you as well.
thanks,
Prasad,

What is the different between System.out.println and out.print

we move a project , jsp form to servlet to mysql db
suddenly we get Chinese input problem
on meantime only Thing I know is
if( chineseName!=null) {
                       chineseName= new String( chineseName.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
                     out.print(chineseName); //display Chinese
                      System.out.println("Hello1"+chineseName ); // display unread symbol
             }I don't know why when we insert the value into db by StudentInsert(university_ID, surName, english_Name, chineseName, Address)
the db get the value from System.out.println
what setting decide my out put through System.out.println

Thank you for the reply!
after two days of search and guess.... I found out
for Web application , which under glassfish , you need to put your jsp page under WEB-INF,
other wise the server jsp turn your Chinese character that come from jsp request form to UTF8 symbol.
not ideal how to change the configuration in glassfish yet!

Printing on chars on the same line using system.out.println

i have the following string:
String msg = "This is a message brought to you by one and the only";
msg.toCharArray(); //converted to a char array.
i've written a loop which goes through each of the char elements
and puts it in it's own array:
int i = 0;
while (i < msg.length)
char[] test = {msg};
System.out.println(test);
the problem is system out println prints out each of the elements on seperate lines is
it possible to have them in one line to reform the original string?

No exactly sure what you are trying to do. Does this
help?
String msg = "This is a message brought to you by one
and the only";
char[] test = msg.toCharArray();
System.out.println(test);
not really because i want to convert the string to a char array and then reform it in another char array and then i can choose which elements i want included and not to be so that it can be printed on the same line. I can do it the following way:
char[] test = {test[0], test[1]]};
but say i want all the letters containing the chracter T (and again i can use the above solution and select the elements from the string but i don't want to hardcode it, say the string changes etc) in the test array so then i thought of writing a loop:
while (test[i] == 'T')
char[] test2 = {test[i]};
System.out.println(test);
i++;
but it puts each T in a new line...

System.out.println and log file

          I am developing jsp on BEA Weblogic 613 on Solaris.
          What if i run the following statement
          System.out.println("Hello world");
          I understand that Hello World will be printed to the server console. I do not
          have access to this console. Is there any log file or temporary log file it gets
          sent to? If not, is there anyway to redirect output from the console to someplace
          else?
          Thanks!


You can redirect console output for stdout on Solaris like so:
          java weblogic.Server > consoleoutput.txt
          then in a terminal window you can see whats going on with
          tail -f consoleoutput.txt

Tomcat Servlet: System.out.println in servlet not printing to catalina.out

Hello friends ,
When i m using System.out.println() in servlet its o/p should come in catalina.out but its not coming plz help me....one thing more can we replace exixting catalina.out file with new one...
please Help me soon.
Thanks

go to[u] TOMCAT_DIR/config/server.xml.
Open this xml file and find something like <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
              prefix="catalina_log." suffix=".txt"
              timestamp="true"/>and
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 directory="logs" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt"
            timestamp="true"/>You can change the log file name to another one.
It's much better to use a logger tool like log4j (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html) then using a System.out.println()...
hope that helps

Where does the logging happens for System.out.println

Hello:
I'm usingNetWeaver 2004sJava SP9 evaluation version. Added some System.out.println to the ejbs. Would like to know where to look for the logging details in this case.
Thanks for your help,
Ravi

Hi,
By default, if the setting has been done, then it appears in defaultTrace as mentioned. For configuration of it, refer to this link.
