hi,

could someone tell me how to set the log file using commons logging ? i went through the site http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/index.html but i didnt not find anything good for me there . Am i missing anything ? I just want to write the log details to c:\mylog.log when i execute my java program.

Rajeev,

Commons Loggin is just Logging Wrapper. This can be used to remove compile-time and run-time dependencies on any particular logging package.

For configuration you have to depend on perticular loggin api you are using like log4j,jdk logging or any other logging api.

Look at below link u will find out.

create a log4j.properties file
******************************
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, dest
#specify the destination file
log4j.appender.dest=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
#specify the destination where you want to display your messages
log4j.appender.dest.File=C:/mylogfile

hope this will help you!

Thanks Jigar / Minu..

I was having the feeling that common-logging is just another tool like log4j. I was in hurry and was checking the tutorial for setting up the property files.. my bad! Thanks again to point me to the right direction.
