Jakarta Commons Logging

[Hash Bash]

Hi

I am using Jakarta Commons Logging as a logging mechanism for my APIs. I noticed that it logs in the verbose output. And I'm wondering if there is a method to log output into a file (e.g. HTML format) for daily archival purposes.

Pls kindly enlighten me

Welcome to JavaRanch.

Commons Logging is just a thin API layer on top of other logging APIs, most notably log4j and java.util.logging. You can configure either one of those to log in whichever way you want. E.g., log4j has DailyRollingFileAppender, which creates a new log file for each day.

Hi Ulf Dittmer

Do u mean I should use log4j instead or there is a way I can reference log4j from within JCL?

Well the daily logging of log4j seemed good

[Ulf Dittmer]

I have no idea what JCL is or does or can do, so I can't help you with that question.

"Hash Bash",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
