Hi Fabio,

Actually, there is a log4j.properties file in the book's code as well. It
is under code/shared/res/log4j.properties. When you build an example, that
file ends up on the classpath.
> But how do I use it? All is needed is to configure this file and that's all?
You need the log4j.properties on the classpath (typically under WEB-INF/classes)
and log4j-1.2.xx.jar under WEB-INF/lib.

I'm not sure how you would do that without changing anything, i.e. have the
deployment mode be 'detected' and the logging level be set accordingly. But
otherwise you would just set the mode to DEBUG while you are developing and
and to ERROR when you are ready to deploy to production.
> What about piping the log to another file?
Have a look at the log4j.properties example from the book's code, you'll
see how to log to a file, webmail.log in your home directory in this example.

Stripes includes util.Log which logs to commons-logging, which in turn logs
to Log4J. For example:
private static final Log log = Log.getInstance(YourActionBean.class);
log.debug("Your log message");
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
