Re: question about debug output

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Man I hate this logging problem we are starting to see with Java, where 
everybody and his dog has a proprietary logging system.
Commons logging
Log4j
java.util.Logger
All have pretty much the exact same functionality.
Since it's now available, why doesn't everyone just use java.util.Logger 
now? When last did anyone need to support Java 1.3 for a beta delivery 
of Xindice?

In addition, since xindice is now deployed as a war file embedded in 
Tomcat, and by default has enough logging enabled to make a sailor 
blush, or at least to severaly impact performance, it seems a better 
solution to logging is required.
There is no way to specify env variables to a war deployment, unless you 
write your own deployment descriptor and do a custom servlet deployment, 
which is a real pain in the ...

Hint to Xindice gods: Tune logging to be a bit quieter in the 
deliveries, and if people require, they can manually set it a bit higher.

OK, I reviewed the jakarta web pages and reviewed LOGGER and LOGLEVEL
variables used by xindice scripts.  The problem I'm facing is that 
I'm using
xindice in EMBEDDED mode.  I can quite figure out how to configure the
debug/logging output with embedded xindice.

(Vadim, thanks for the assistance!)
 

From my uneducated explorations, I looked in code for 
org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog, see 
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/logging/src/java/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/SimpleLog.java?rev=1.14&view=markup 

There are references to system properties in there. Therefore Jakarta 
commons logging gets its configuration from system properties. So, 
either start up Java with -dXXXXXX=XXX properties, or before you call 
XIndice, make sure you do System.setProperty("xxx", "xxx") (I assume 
that is possible).

To get the exact values, plagiarise them out of bin/xindice.bat.
HTH.

Hello,
How does one turn off the debug output?
