Logging

Overview

Documents the approach to logging.

This is a placeholder page with basic information and will be developed to fully document this aspect of the system.

Details

Logging is handled by an SLF4J integration with log4j. The default server setup writes logs to the standard container log file, which by default is the Tomcat7 catalina.out file. Alternative logging setup could be configured using other standard log4j configurations. As a general principle, each REST call logs itself and its parameters so application developers can easily monitor activity on the server and gather usage statistics.
