Default SCORM Engine Logging (Java)
By default the Java version of SCORM Engine utilizes Java's built-in logging API. This is done via a single logger named "com.rusticisoftware.scormcontentplayer". Logging messages are routed through three different Integration methods. The DefaultIntegration class just forwards these to the logger at three different logging levels:
DefaultIntegration.LogError() - Logs at "Error" level DefaultIntegration.LogAudit() - Logs at "Info" level DefaultIntegration.LogDetail() - Logs at "Debug" level
Note: Customers are welcome to overrride these methods to use a logging library of their choosing, but by default this is what happens.
Configuration for java.util.Logging happens via a logging.properties file. There is a default version of this at JAVA_HOME/lib/logging.properties. However, usually there will be a logging.properties file found further up the classloader hierarchy. It can also be explicitly passed in when starting the app server with "java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=myLoggingConfigFilePath".
Tomcat/JBoss
Tomcat logging should be configured via the logging.properties file at TOMCAT_HOME/conf/logging.properties. By default, the SCORM Engine logger "com.rusticisoftware.scormcontentplayer" will write to the default handler which means messages are written to TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina*.log files. To create a separate log file for SCORM Engine append the following to this logging.properties:
Add this handler to the list of "handlers": org.apache.juli.FileHandler so it will look something like this:
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 4admin.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, 5host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, org.apache.juli.FileHandler
Add the following lines:
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = scormengine.
com.rusticisoftware.scormcontentplayer.level=INFO
com.rusticisoftware.scormcontentplayer.handlers=org.apache.juli.FileHandler
Other Web Containers
The logging.properties files still defines where logs are kept, but this file's location will vary with each app server. If no logging.properties file is defined, the JAVA_HOME/lib/logging.propoerties file will be used.
