How to Reassign the "Standard" Output Stream Without System.setOut

[ysaspb]

Hi,

I have an application that runs under JBoss 4.x/5.x. The source code is not available.  

Is it possible to reassign the "standard" output of THE APPLICAION (not the SERVER) to, say, a file 
without Java coding using only configuration? 

Thank you in advance,

ysa

Hi,

do you know what logging framework the application uses?

If it is Log4j and the default JBoss Log4j implementation is used, take a look at this document: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/SeparatingApplicationLogs

Hope this helps

Thank you Wolfgang for the very interesting link.

I'll read it carefully a little bit later.

But it ‘is about log4j.

The application I asked about does not any logging framework.

It uses STDOUT.  I would like to separate it’s OUT.

Hi,

according to this (quite old) post, JBoss already redirects System.out.println outputs to Log4J: http://community.jboss.org/message/183440

So you just need to redirect the Log4J category "STDOUT" to a custom log file.

Hope this helps
