Configuring the JavaLogFactory

Java 8 Configuration

To configure the JavaLogFactory for ESAPI configure the java.util.logging.LogManager instance within the jvm by specifying

-Djava.util.logging.config.file=path/to/configuration.properties

An Application Restart may be required for changes to take effect.

Refer to the java LogManager Documentation for more information on how to customize and configure Java Logging for the application.

In previous deliveries of the ESAPI library, the esapi-java-logging.properties file would default to:

handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
.level= INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=[%1$tF %1$tT] [%3$-7s] %5$s %n
