Re: [netcdf-java] controlling logging

Hi Don:

For 4.3 do the following:

1) you need to have these jars in your application's classpath:

  slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar 
  log4j-1.2.17.jar

2) now you need a log4j.xml file, also in your classpath, heres a minimal one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>

  <appender name="applog" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
    <param name="File" value="mylog/app.log"/>
    <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10MB"/>
    <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/>
  </appender>

  <root>
    <level value="WARN"/>
    <appender-ref ref="applog"/>
  </root>

</log4j:configuration>

this would suppress all messages except WARN and ERROR and log those to 

  "mylog/app.log"

keeping up to 10 10MB logs. So make your changes as needed.
 
In 4.4 we have switched to log4j2, so the config file is a bit different. 
Ill try to update the web pages.
