java.util.logging

I am using JUL in my application. Normally, Netbeans opens an output tab that reads "Tomcat" and shows the logs I produce. It was working fine. But suddenly, I realise that my logs are not shown at all, only the System.out get printed. Not even the higuest LOG.log(Level.SEVERE, ".... . } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("This gets printed in Netbeans tab"); LOG.log(Level.SEVERE, "This doesnt"); } I suspect it can be a library I included, which is messing with my logs. Is that possible at all? Can a librray change the way my logs are shown? How can I investigate this, since I am a bit

The JavaDocs for java.util.logging.Level state: The levels in descending order are: SEVERE (highest value) WARNING INFO CONFIG FINE FINER FINEST (lowest value) Source import java.util.logging.*; class LoggingLevelsBlunder { public static void main(String[] args) { Logger logger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger(); logger.setLevel(Level.FINER); System.out.println("Logging level is: " + logger.getLevel()); for (int ii=0; ii<3; ii++) { logger.log(Level.FINE, ii + " " + (ii*ii)); logger.log(Level.INFO, ii + " " + (ii*ii)); } } } Output Logging level is: FINER Jun 11, 2011 9:39:23 PM LoggingLevelsBlunder
