Ubuntu java error logging

Question

Is there a way on Ubuntu to enable global java exception logging? In my case I have php-fpm executing java jar with php function exec(), but I don't get any exceptions logged from Java anywhere.

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) and my Java version is

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode)

Solution

here how you can enable logging ... (notice this is just java logging and the application logging is different from java logging)

• Type

  which java

you get something like this /somewhere/jdk1.7.0_21_linux_x64/bin/java

• Go to the path (exclude the last"java" in the path so it end with bin. cd /somewhere/jdk1.7.0_21_linux_x64/bin/

• execute the java control panel this way

./ControlPanel

• You get the screen below (go to the advanced tab) and just enable the logging you like.
