Hi, I am not using console output, its the latest version of stable log4j release.
The application is not deployed as a complete web application as this is being used inside the processes of tibco. So the TIBCO processes used this application to generate the query, by simply giving in the inputs and considering the String output. I have implemented logger and the configuration file resides inside the tibco server, not inside my Java application. So I am fetching an instance of logger form the tibco server but for this I have to write separate code in each Java class willing to write logs somewhere in tibco server. What exactly I need is something that is the standard way to write logs to a server where there are many Java application are deployed as separate jar file and is being used by the tibco processes. Thanks for Replying. Prashant Rajput.
