java.util.logging question

[Alan Parson]

public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Test.class.getName());
ConsoleHandler h = new ConsoleHandler();
h.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
log.addHandler(h);
log.info("Test");
}


Has the following output:


May 23, 2006 4:24:10 PM com.dmotorworks.lib.clie.Test main
INFO: Test
May 23, 2006 4:24:10 PM com.dmotorworks.lib.clie.Test main
INFO: Test


Why is it printing TWICE?

[Edwin Dalorzo]

The default logging configuration already provides a Console Handler. Then you are adding another one. That�s why it is printed twice.

If you do not add another handler it will be printed just once.

The default logging configuration is stored in the jre\lib\logging.properties file.

It is a better idea if you set up your loggin handler from this file or create a new file and set it using the -Djava.util.logging.config.file=myfile command line property, as specified in the default logging configuration file.

I hope this helps!
