I could be persuaded that each application should write its own distinct log, although I'm not sure we'd have the same definition of application in mind. A better scope for logs would probably be all the applications that belong to system X, where X might be the company's payroll system, consisting of many applications and hundreds of classes.

I skimmed each and every post in the thread and did not find it. I located a find command in my news reader, whose scope is limited to a single post at a time, and used it in every post in the thread. Still nothing. I went into Google groups and searched it there with the browser's find command and still nothing. I know it was there because I remember seeing it but I can't find it now. Can you possibly remind me what I was supposed to do? > study the Javadocs for > 'getResource[AsStream]()'. > Do I actually need to open the logging.properties file and read it, as if it were a routine text file, to find the desired log path? That seems improbable.... For what it's worth, someone else told me to add it to the classpath for the project so I went into Run Configurations, chose the Classpath tab and added the folder containing logging.properties under "User Entries". I also deleted my old java%u.log files because I'm sick of looking at them and finding that no new java.log has joined them and none of the old ones has changed. I ran the sandbox program again and the println() displayed the path to the logging.properties file. The INFO, SEVERE, and WARNING messages got displayed on the console, just as they did before I made the logging.properties visible. But there is STILL NO LOG FILE in the %h directory! This is really getting annoying. I really want to play with logging now that I have a better grasp on it and I can't find the bloody thing for love or money.... -- Novice
