7.2 Specify file handler in logging.properties (check if java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler exists in web application)

Information

Handlers specify where log messages are sent. Console handlers send log messages to the Java console and File handlers specify logging to a file.

Solution

Add the following entries to your logging.properties file if they do not exist.
handlers=org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
Ensure logging is not off and set the logging level to the desired level such as:
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level=FINEST
