I have a web service built on Apache Wink (1.1.3), running under Tomcat, started from Eclipse for debugging. How do I turn full logging on for some Wink classes?

For a start, I just tried turning it on for all of Wink with these lines in the logging.properties file of the Tomcat conf directory:

org.apache.wink.level = FINEST
org.apache.wink.handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

I also tried putting these lines in another file and referencing that file with -Djava.util.logging.config.file=.... Neither of these worked.

Apache Wink uses slf4j for logging. Meaning you should configure it with your favorite logger.
For example adding slf4j-jdk14.jar to your classpath will send the logs to the JDK's native logger.

I suggest you read the slf4j two pages manual.

  • Thanks @Tarlog, and apologies for the delay in responding. I looked at the log output being produced, and it contains some entries for Wink, such as: _238 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO org.apache.wink.common.internal.application.ApplicationFileLoader - The runtime is loading the JAX-RS application from jar:file:/Users/ossher/projects/sse1/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp1/wtpwebapps/com.ibm.cfoi.services.samples.hello/WEB-INF/lib/wink-json4j-provider-1.1.3-incubating.jar!/META-INF/wink-application_ – Harold Ossher Feb 19 '13 at 21:07
  • Continuation: My problem is that I can't find the control file to modify (or don't know where to create one) to get more detailed levels of logging for selected Wink classes. Can you help with that? Thanks! – Harold Ossher Feb 19 '13 at 21:15
