5.4. Enabling Logging at the Command Line

You can run the logging utility on an application by defining a java.util.logging.config.file property when you start the application. You can either specify the default logging.properties file or a logging.properties file that is unique to that application.

To specify logging on application start-up add the flag shown in Example 5.9, “Flag to Start Logging on the Command Line” when starting the application.

-Djava.util.logging.config.file=myfile

-Djava.util.logging.config.file=myfile
