Using java.util.logging.Logger to log messages in JBoss

[ajavadeveloper]

Got a question about using the Java API's logging framework and JBoss. I do the following:

...
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass().getPackage().getName());
logger.info("This is a test message.");
...

In the JBoss's server log (and console) I get the following:

11:11:08,813 ERROR [STDERR] Feb 3, 2004 11:11:08 AM TestBean setName
INFO: This is a test message.

Now, I'm happy that I get my log message printed to both the console and server.log file but why is it labeled as an ERROR [STDERR] message? I invoked the info() method from the logger? How do I get it to be labeled as an INFO (or whatever it should be) message on the first line of the output? It does label it as INFO on the second line however.

Now if I instead use System.out.println() it is labeled as an INFO message and if I use System.err.println() it is labeled as an ERROR message in both the console and server.log.

Thanks for any help!

it sounds like a bug either in our integration or the log4j stuff. can we ask you to dig a bit in that code part?

thanks

He's not using log4j. He's using java.util.logging, which appears to be new in J2SE 1.4.1 (not in 1.3.1.)

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html

Heck, I didn't even know it existed until now. It does resemble log4j, including a Logger class and levels.

If this is now part of J2SE, then it appears to be the beginning of the end of log4j. In the meantime, it might be wise to use log4j in applications since that is currently what works in JBoss as well as other servers, and is likely to continue to function for some time.

As for JBoss, how hard would it be to support both?

Still it is bug or it has been fixed?? if it fixed please let me know the solution. I'm facing the same problem.
