Question

I have a GWT project. I use standard Logger for the client side and server side logging. I created two Logger classes which inherit from java.util.logging.Logger. Client part works properly. The problem is on the server part. I have a logger class like:

public class ServerLogger extends Logger {

public ServerLogger() throws SecurityException, IOException {
    super("ServerLog", null);
    boolean append = true;
    FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler("My.log", append);
    fileHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
    addHandler(fileHandler);
}
}

But it does not create any log file and it does not log anything?? (The file should stay on the server part.)

How should I log on the server part??

Your question has nothing to do with GWT. This is just logging in java.

There are many solutions to do this, but since you mentioned java.util.Logging here is a good blogpost on how to get started with java.util.logging in a servlet container:
