Binary Logging

Binary logging is a functionality introduced in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5. This feature allows server information to be stored in a single log file that contains binary, unformatted log data of all the web sites hosted on a server. It thus minimizes the usage of system resources used for logging, may improve performance and scalability, and at the same time records detailed log information.
