Depends on what you mean by "capture the output". By default the logger is writing INFO and higher to stdout, you can use redirection to capture that. If you want the DEBUG detail then yes, you need to play with the properties.
We can turn on DEBUG level logging to the LOG file in AXIS until some point in the future? Not sure I like that though... Would be nice if we can build a distribution that has FILE LOGGING ON, DEBUG OFF, but be able to do development builds that has FILE LOGGING ON, DEBUG ON. <ras> ******************************************* Richard A.
