Configure the JDK Logging

If you have code in your application, for example from third party libraries that uses the standard JDK logging, then you should be able to create a logging.properties file and pass it as a system property as in:

java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties 

Let us take a look at a sample logging.properties.

handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level= INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINER
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
org.something.something = FINER 
org.apache.tomcat.catalina = FINER
