Why does Java Logging API create so many files?
- by rgksugan
I am using java logging api to log errors in my exception. I am writing these errors to a log file. When i run my program i find a lot of files created.There are around 50 files created. Is there any mistake in my code or is it normal?
Here goes the code
try {
logger = Logger.getLogger(Reciever.class.getName());
fileHandler = new FileHandler("Applicationlog.log", true);
logger.addHandler(fileHandler);
logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
SimpleFormatter formatter = new SimpleFormatter();
fileHandler.setFormatter(formatter);
} catch (IOException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (SecurityException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
