Hi Sharon, you will need to make yourself familiar with commons logging and log4j.
http://commons.apache.org/logging/ http://logging.apache.org/log4j/ An example (requires log4j and commons logging in classpath): Create a log4j.properties file in your classpath: log4j.rootLogger=INFO, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%6r [%t] %5p %c %x %m%n log4j.logger.ca.uhn.hl7v2=INFO log4j.logger.ca.uhn.hl7v2.raw.inbound=ERROR log4j.logger.ca.uhn.hl7v2.raw.outbound=ERROR This logs HAPIs activities to the console (adjust to your needs, e.g. log to file) in INFO mode, except the raw messages, which are not displayed, except an error occurs (I did this, because the Initiator also logs the messages, so I dont see them twice). Turn to DEBUG to see parsing of messages and a lot more information. How to configure basically has nothing to do with HAPI itself, as it uses commons logging, so you should go ahead and read on the logging/log4j tutorials and howtos :-) Greets Torben Sharon Carter schrieb: > I would really appreciate some more detailed info about how the > logging works in Hapi.
