Java Logger vs Log4J

[Tony Lockyer]

Hi All:

I'm trying to customize the pattern of logging output with Java Logger
similar to what you can do with log4J. Anyone know if this is possible?

Yes it is, however you need to write your own Formatter. See the abstract
class java.util.logging.Formatter[1] - you get
java.util.logging.LogRecord's[2] as input which should have all needed
fields to create a similar output as log4j's PatternLayout is able to.
