No output in console

Question

This sounds like a trivial question but I googled about it and found nothing that helped me.

Nothing gets printed in my console. It was working just fine yesterday. I haven't made any changes to my RAD.

Even the system.out statements do not get printed in the console. I debugged to make sure it hits the system.out statement.

I have confirmed that the console I am looking at for output is the console for the websphere as shown in the picture.

I am using RAD 8 and websphere app server7.

EDIT 1 :

The log file(SystemOut.log)

EDIT 2: Solution

I couldn't figure out what was causing this problem. So I ended up deleting the server and recreating it. This solved the issue. So I guess there was some kind of configuration change to the server that was required.

Any answer will still be appreciated.

Answer 1

The console view can display more than one kind of console. In your screenshot, it's displaying the Websphere server console. The output that you're expecting to see may be on a different console. There are some buttons to the right of the console tab which you can use to switch to a different console.
