java util logging.properties: How to log to two different files

Question

I am placing a logging.properties in the WEB-INF/classes dir of tomcat

I would like to log to two different files. For example: org.pkg1 goes to one file and org.pkg

Answer 1

Having the same problem myself with java.util.logging and not quite satisfied with the given answers, I just found in the documentation:

2.2 Changing the Configuration

Here's a small program that dynamically adjusts the logging configuration to send output to a specific file and to get lots of information on wombats. The pattern "%t" means the system temporary directory.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Handler fh = new FileHandler("%t/wombat.log");
        Logger.getLogger("").addHandler(fh);
        Logger.getLogger("com.wombat").setLevel(Level.FINEST);
        ...
    }

So, it seems you can't do it just from the .properties file as can't instantiate several appenders, but you can do it programmatically. Also it should be possible using the LoggerManager
