ABSTRACT
Logging and management of Web applications have assumed much importance, as logging can reveal many aspects, including security attacks, compromises, hacking, and the like. Logging for security, therefore, has become the need of the hour. Logging is an I/O-intensive operation and has a great bearing on performance and cost. The application developers need to appropriately choose logging options so that they strike a right chord between cost, performance, and policies of governmental and industrial bodies. The Java platform provides comprehensive logging APIs that help application developers appropriately model the logging requirements, classify them into specific levels of severity, and publish the same after appropriately formatting and localization.
