Your log4j configuration probably uses a consoleappender. Change this to be a fileappender instead, and you are done.
This document describes the configuration of log4j in short: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html To see what appenders are available in log4j, see http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/Appender.html and all implementing classes, especially http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/FileAppender.html Hiran ----------------------------------------- Hiran Chaudhuri SAG Systemhaus GmbH Elsenheimer Straße 11 80867 München Phone +49-89-54 74 21 34 Fax +49-89-54 74 21 99 > -----Original Message----- > From: O.
