Outputting Jersey logging to a file?

Question

We've added these to our web.xml:

<init-param>
    <param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequestFilters</param-name>
    <param-value>com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
    <param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponseFilters</param-name>
    <param-value>com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter</param-value>
</init-param>

Which is nice for debugging in my dev environment, but, I can't see any examples on logging these things to files on our testing server! All I see is that the default is System.out... not how to pass in anything.

Examples would be nice! Thanks

By default, LoggingFilter logs to a JDK logger named as its fully qualified class name (com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter). You'll just have to

1. configure JDK logging the usual way ,
2. bridge it to your favorite logging framework, or
3. use whatever mechanism your application server may provide.
