How to register console output to a file?

Question

NetBeans generates code like Logger.getLogger(svr.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); to throw an exception in catch.It will be displayed in the console. After deploying my project, I see no exception information. How to output these error messages to a file and to the console when the console is available?

Thanks guys.

NetBeans' logging system is based on the standard jdk java.util.logging and matches it as much as possible. To output error messages to a file, you can provide your own logging properties file in the classpath of your project.
