Use Java logging in an application
This topic describes how to use Java logging within an application.
To create an application using Java logging, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Optional: Create the necessary handler, formatter, and filter classes if you need your own log files.
Use the WebSphere log and trace infrastructure to make problem source identification simpler, rather than creating separate log files.
- Optional: If localized messages are used by the application, create a resource bundle, as described in Create log resource bundles and message files.
- In the application code, get a reference to a logger instance, as described in Use a logger.
- Insert the appropriate message and trace logging statements in the application, as described in Use a logger.
