Java Logging – where is my log file?

Where is your logging.properties file located? It should be available in the root of the classpath. As a sanity check, what does the following code print?

System.out.println(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("logging.properties"));

If the code is in a static context, use

System.out.println(ClassName.class.getClassLoader().getResource("logging.properties"));
