Using IDK Logging from the Command Line
These instructions explain how to run the IDK Logging API
example code (Java or .NET) from the command line.
- Scan the sample
code and note the LOGGING_APPLICATION_NAME parameter declared near
the top of the class. Change this value if you wish, and record it.
- Java: Compile
with all the idk jar files in the classpath. Make sure servlet.jar
and all idk jar files are in the classpath. .NET: Compile the source
with reference to idk.dll and its supporting DLLs.
- Launch ALI Logging
Spy. Go to the Filters dialog box and add a
new server (right-click and select Add Server ). Enter the value set for LOGGING_APPLICATION_NAME in the Add Server dialog box and click OK . Wait a few seconds until a new entry appears in the Filter Settings
list .
- Run the example
from the command line. Note any messages displayed in ALI Logging
Spy. Error and exception logs are included in the logging demonstration.
- Go back to the Filters dialog in ALI Logging Spy. Click the gray selection
box beside the 'server' entry to accept logging for all logging levels.
- Run the example
again. Note that the messages displayed now in ALI Logging Spy include
examples of all logging levels, including error and exception logs.
