I have a Java program which runs as 3 separate processes on the same server. I would like all of the processes to share a single log file, is there a way to specify that in a logging.properties file? I am using java.util.logging to handle logging.

Currently, this is how I define my FileHandler in my logging.properties file:

java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern=%h/log/logfile.log

This works fine for 1 instance of the program, however, if I attempt to start 3 separate instances of the program the result is:

logfile.log
logfile.log.1
logfile.log.2

Any advice on this?

Thankyou

    Logback is another logger, but it supports your case.

    from the docs: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html

    check out prudent mode for FileAppender
