How do I write a stack trace to a log? I found some references in the mail archives, but couldn't find a solution. I couldn't find it in Ceki's book. Here's a simple example of my goal. Thanks!
public class LogStackTrace { static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("LogStackTrace"); public static void main(String[] args) { BasicConfigurator.configure(); try { throw new NullPointerException(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); // *** how do I output this to log4j? *** logger.error(e.getStackTrace()); // just writes the object id } } } Jeffrey Drew President and Founder Trading Metrics, Inc. 917-453-0302
