I'm trying to get some logging to a file into org.apache.pdfbox.util.TestPDFToImage.java .
I've read http://commons.apache.org/logging/guide.html and http://wiki.apache.org/commons/Logging/FrequentlyAskedQuestions and http://commons.apache.org/logging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/SimpleLog.html. But I'm finding precious little information that actually tells how to do any logging. All I want to do is get that test routine logging to a file so I can see what exceptions we're encountering. The test routine is an application that uses the library, so actually setting up the logging framework to which commons logging will log seems to be in order. First, how do I make this SimpleLog write a log file? I have import org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog; then within the class: private org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog SL = null; then within the constructor: SL = new org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog("TestPDFToImage.log"); SL.setLevel(org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog.LOG_LEVEL_ALL); then within DoTestFile: SL.debug("\nPreparing to convert " + file.getName()); But I don't ever get a TestPDFToImage.log file created. Second, the PDFBox library contains many log.error (or similar) calls. How do I get my application's logging to capture and record those ... so that I can actually see what those exceptions or other messages are and do something about them? Thanks! Daniel
