Application Client rolling log file

[th2006]

I have an Glassfish application client that runs continuously and am
trying to configure logging to work manageably in this case. The file
'sun-acc.xml' contains a 'log-service' element with attributes only to
set the 'log-file' and 'level'. Is there a way to configure the
appclient log service to roll (since it is using the java.util.logging
package)?

Thanks - Tommy

Hi Wouter,

No, at first I assumed it would log to the server but that is not how
the 'appclient' works... the Glassfish provided 'appclient' shell
script lauches its own JVM and does not transmit it's log data to the
app. server and thus, has nothing to do with the 'server.log' file.
By default, it logs to the console and the level is set to 'WARNING'.
I have configured it to write to a file 'client.log' with level
'INFO', but apparently that is all that can be done with the 'sun-
acc.xml' file.

Hi, Tommy.

Hi Tim,

I will request the enhancement. In the mean time, would it work to
get the handler(s) from the logger object and set those attributes at
runtime for the file handler?

Thanks - Tommy

There shouldn't be a need for an RFE. The JVM used by the
client application manages its own logging using the
logging.properties file in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib directory.
By default, the JDK only uses the ConsoleHandler and logs
INFO. You can customize your client VM's logging in all the
ways defined at:
