How to Log errors with Fop.bat 0.94
Hello,
I am running Fop 0.94 from a .net application. I pass all my arguments a
batch file to run Fop. If there are any errors they will display in the
command line dos window. I heard that FOP logs its errors some where. I
would like to pass those errors (if any) back to my .net application.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Bones

We're getting off-topic for this mailing list (should be on fop-users
anyway), but here goes:
You need to use a different handler, the FileHandler (see example below).
You can configure the filename as you want. See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/FileHandler.html
for details.
More info:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/util/logging/overview.html
The modification of fop.bat is probably ok. Good luck!

java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

Thanks for the help.
Your second suggestion might be the better way for me. Following your Wiki,
I have a newbie question.
I created a congif file :
# Error log - FOP Config File
# Set and change Default logging for FOP
handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter =
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
.level= INFO
# Well, the following line actually dances a little out of line :-(
FOP.level = INFO
# This sets all FOP logging to INFO. Only rendering information is logged on
the FINE level.
org.apache.fop.level = INFO
org.apache.fop.render.level = FINE
# End of Custom
Then I added this line to my Fop.bat file:
set LOGCHOICE=-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:/fop-0.94/lib/error.config
Is this correct and what is the name of the output file and where is it
being output to?

I'm sure .NET lets you capture the output on stdout/stderr. Just search
the net for "capture stdout" together with the name of your preferred
programming language. I saw many examples.
An alternative is to write a config file for java.util.logging that
redirects log output to a file. You can then load the text file.
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/HowTo/SetupJDK14Logging
The most advanced/complicated alternative is probably to compile FOP for
.NET under IKVM and directly interface with FOP through .NET code. Not
an easy task, though.
