Java applet logging

I'm not a Java developer so please remain calm if I write something incorrect.

I have a binary distributed Java applet which I decoded into quite readable source. My goal it to analyse activities of the applet. I see that the applet uses a lot of loggers to log actions, for example:

x.y.z.CONNECTION.LOG
x.y.z.GuiClient.GENERAL

etc.

But I don't see any of the messages in the Java console (however I see loads of other Java messages). I put to logging.properties the following lines:

.level = ALL
x.y.z.CONNECTION.LOG = ALL
x.y.z.GuiClient.GENERAL = ALL

with no effect.

What should I do to see messages logged by the loggers above?

If it could help I run MacOS 10.8, JDK 1.6.0, the applet starts in Mozilla 21.0 Please advise.

Solution

  • I have found what the issue is. I made a mistake in logging.properties. I should have written:

    x.y.z.CONNECTION.LOG.level = ALL
x.y.z.GuiClient.GENERAL.level = ALL
