The logging.properties file defines where logging output is sent. You can direct output to a log file or to the console. If output is directed to a log file, you can specify when to roll over to a new log file. You can also control the format of logging messages. For information on log rollover policies, see “Rolling over log files”.
The logging.properties file entries and logging behavior follow that for the Apache log4j package. For detailed information, refer to the documentation for log4j at http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html.
