Window apps and logging

["Cook, Lori A" <lo...@hp.com>]

Okay

So you've got an application that creates a window application. The
class is something like this

public class TestPanels extends JFrame {
// private class constants
	private static final Logger logger =
	
Logger.getLogger(TestPanels.class.getName());
    ...
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    	logger.info("Entering main");
    	try {
    		new TestPanels().show();
    	} catch (Exception e) {
    		logger.error("", e);
    	}
    	logger.info("Exiting main");
    }
}

So you kick off the app, it posts a window and exits main. Now what? If
you cause an error in app where do you catch it and log? I.e. I'm
looking for the 'holy grail' of catching any unprocessed exceptions for
such a application so it can be logged.

Thanks for any help you can give.

think there is another way to do it without getting into threads.
