Enabling backend logging in the user interface with the web UI framework

To enable backend logging in the user interface, use the Start Requesting Log button.

Procedure

  1. In the user interface, display the Start Request Log button by clicking Ctrl + F2.

    The button appears in the debugging toolbar which appears in the upper left corner of the screen.

  2. To enable logging, click the Start Request Log button.

    The Console does not display any details about request logging. These are available in the requestinfo.log file either in the default log directory or in the log directory specified by the user during installation.

    The button name changes to Stop Request Log.

    Log messages are created when a Struts action is called, when a mashup is invoked, and when a redirect happens or a requestDispatcher is created.

  3. To disable logging, click the Stop Request Log button. The request-based logging will stop.

    The button name changes to Start Request Log.
