redirecting a java web start app logs to a file

Question

We have an application that we access over Java web start internally at our office.

all the logs produced by the app are displayed in Firefox's console.

what I want to do is to redirect that to a file.

is that possible ?

and how to do that ?

P.S : the application is designed as follow : a client app that accesses an EJB on a server.

the client part is the one made available through java webstart.

Answer 1

I figured using the System.setOut method could be used to redirect all System.out.println() outputs to a file.

Hence, this could be used in my app :

        System.setOut(new PrintStream("C:\\log.txt"));
