Details

To get data in WebSphere log, You need to set TRUE two options 1) logger.output.console 2) logger.output.file in CAST Web.xml file as we send the output to the JVM console.

  <context-param>                               <param-name>logger.output.console</param-name>
                               <param-value>true</param-value>
                               <description>Outputs logs to JVM console</description>
                </context-param>
                <context-param>
                               <param-name>logger.output.file</param-name>
                               <param-value>true</param-value>
                               <description>Outputs logs to file</description>

                                 <param-value>[C:\castweb]</param-value>
