   2. Add the following lines.

      log4j.logger.com.sun.dml.view=TRACE,view
      log4j.logger.com.sun.dml.web=TRACE,web
      
      log4j.appender.view=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
      log4j.appender.view.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
      log4j.appender.view.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
      log4j.appender.view.File=de-view.log
      log4j.appender.view.MaxFileSize=5MB
      log4j.appender.view.MaxBackupIndex=1
      
      log4j.appender.web=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
      log4j.appender.web.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
      log4j.appender.web.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
      log4j.appender.web.File=de-web.log
