How use java.util.logging.config.class?

[Tobias Besch]

I want to use java.util.logging togehter with Web Start.
Since specifying a configuration file with the system property
java.util.logging.config.file does not work with Web Start
(because you cannot specify a file path) I'd like to try
java.util.logging.config.class and put that class into the classpath.

As I searched the Internet I found examples for specification of
configuration files.
But I couldn't find any example on how to specify logging properties
in a class.

Could you please help me?

Kindest Regards,
Tobias

IMHO, you've taken a wrong turn at the end: get the configuration file
from your .jar file and initialize logging with that.

An similar case can be found here (just one day old):

Combine this with System#getResourceAsStream(String) and
LogManager#readConfiguration(InputStream) to feed the configuration file
into LogManager.

Thanks, a lot.
This is the solution I was looking for.
