We're getting off-topic for this mailing list (should be on fop-users anyway), but here goes:
You need to use a different handler, the FileHandler (see example below). You can configure the filename as you want. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/FileHandler.html for details. More info: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/util/logging/overview.html The modification of fop.bat is probably ok. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------------------- handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler # Default global logging level. # This specifies which kinds of events are logged across # all loggers.
