java - Where did the Log4j Log Output Go? -

i running java class directly has main(), eclipse.

no web servers running. main() of class run. in main() have statement,

import org.apache.log4j.logger;  //...  private static final logger logger = logger.getlogger(myclass.class);  public static void main(string[] args){ try {    //... } catch (exception e) { logger.error(e); } 

nothing shown in eclipse console when error encountered. error log written, somewhere else. written to?

it depends on logging configuration, check log4j.properties or log4j.xml(which ever in case).
