You should redirect the System.err to the logger, the process is not too simple but you can use this code:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class LogOutputStream extends ByteArrayOutputStream {//java.io.OutputStream {
private String lineSeparator;
private Logger logger;
private Level level;
public LogOutputStream(Logger logger, Level level) {
super();
this.logger = logger;
this.level = level;
this.lineSeparator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
}
@Override
public void flush() throws IOException {
String record;
synchronized (this) {
super.flush();
record = this.toString();
super.reset();
if ((record.length() == 0) || record.equals(this.lineSeparator)) {
// avoid empty records
return;
}
this.logger.logp(this.level, "", "", record);
}
}
}
And The code to set this (that should called the when you first create the logger
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Exception");
LogOutputStream los = new LogOutputStream(logger, Level.SEVERE);
System.setErr(new PrintStream(los, true));
This will redirect the System.err stream to the logger.
