Redirecting the logging output

By default, the trace system sends the logging information to either

System.out
System.err

To redirect the logging output to a file, use the following property.

com.entrust.toolkit.trace.filename=<file>

For example:

com.entrust.toolkit.trace.filename=C:\jtklog.log

You can also create a new logging class that extends OutputStreamTraceLog – for example:

public class FileLogger extends OutputStreamTraceLog {
 // default log location
 private static String m_fileName = "C:\\logs\\toolkit.out";
 
 public FileLogger(String name) throws FileNotFoundException {
 super(name);
        setStream(new FileOutputStream(m_fileName));
    }
 
 // method to set the desired log location
 public static void setFileName(String filename) {
        m_fileName = filename;
    }
}

To indicate which logging class the toolkit should use, set the logclass system property – for example:

-D com.entrust.toolkit.tracing.logclass=com.company.utils.FileLogger
