Additivity in java.util.logging

Question

As posted in this question DailyRollingFileAppender writes also on SystemOut.log, we avoid Log propagation from child to parent loggers in log4j using the additivity property.

I have some components that instead of using log4j are logging using java.util.logging, and we have the same issue as with log4j that logs are propagated to SystemOut.log. So, is there an equivalent of the additivity attribute of log4j in java.util.logging, to avoid log propagation?

Answer 1

I believe the equivalent is useParentHandlers

in your config, have something like:

your.logger.name.useParentHandlers=false

should do the trick

(I haven't used JUL before, that's what I found from Google)
