  1. POwhere to specify file name and path when logging exceptions in java?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to java and trying to learn how to log an exception by example. I found the following example code here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kodejava.org/examples/447.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kodejava.org/examples/447.html</a></p> <p>However, I don't see where the filename for the log file is specified. When I research the question on Google usually people refer to the framework used for programming java to figure out where the log file gets stored. However, I'm not using a framework. I'm just creating my java files using VIM editor from the command line. The java file sits on an Linux CentOS application server and is called from a client's browser. </p> <p>Question 1: Is it possible to modify the example below to include a file name and path for logging? Or, am I way off base with this question? </p> <p>Question 2: Even though I log the exception, will it still propagate to the client for the user to view? Hopefully it will, otherwise the user won't know an error has occurred.</p> <pre><code>package org.kodejava.example.util.logging; import java.util.logging.Logger; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.Date; import java.text.DateFormat; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.text.ParseException; public class LoggingException { private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LoggingException.class.getName()); public static void main(String[] args) { DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); df.setLenient(false); try { // // Try to parsing a wrong date. // Date date = df.parse("12/30/1990"); System.out.println("Date = " + date); } catch (ParseException e) { // // Create a Level.SEVERE logging message // if (logger.isLoggable(Level.SEVERE)) { logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Error parsing date", e); } } } } </code></pre>
