When using JDK 1.4 or higher, logging will proceed through the built-in logging package provided by the java.util.logging package. For details on configuring the built-in logging system, please see the Java Logging Overview.
By default, JDK 1.4's logging package looks in the JAVA_HOME/lib/logging.properties file for logging configuration. This can be overridden with the java.util.logging.config.file system property. For example:
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=mylogging.properties com.company.MyClass
Example 3.4. Log Properties
# specify the handlers to create in the root logger
# (all loggers are children of the root logger)
# the following creates two handlers
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler
# set the default logging level for the root logger
.level=ALL
# set the default logging level for new ConsoleHandler instances
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
# set the default logging level for new FileHandler instances
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL
# set the default formatter for new ConsoleHandler instances
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
# set the default logging level for all Kodo logs
