Hello,

I couldn’t find documentation regarding logging strategies and mechanisms for Servoy. For instance, is it possible to log errors and other interactions in a specified log file?

Thank you.

Logging is based on log4j. This is a nice starting point: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4J](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4J)

If you want to use logging in your own code (methods), you could have a look at [our free Log plugin](http://www.servoy-plugins.de).

I’m using this plugin and that works really fine. And it is very easy to use:

```auto
plugins.Log.error('Some error message')
plugins.Log.warn('Some warning')

etc

```

Thank you.
