Question

I am creating a simple Jetty server and am wondering how to print something into the console, like variables at specific times or when a user connects. I am compiling the Jetty server with a java class with jetty-all jar files. I am not using any xml currently. Could anyone tell me how to print something into the console? Such as, when a user connects say, “User connected”

Thanks.

You better should output to a log file, you could use log4j for that.
Use

LOGGER.info("user connected");

on linux you then can use

tail -f logfile.log

to live output the content to the console
