Redirecting eclipse console output to log file

There is a way to redirect the console text into a log/text file under eclipse. If you are running a web-based application, possibility is that you already have a .log file configured some where. You can simply open this log file and look for messages.

In case of pure java application however, most of the output is showin in the eclipse console unless you configure a redirect.

Open the "Run Configurations" dialogue box by pulling up the "Run" button or by right clicking on your project/class file and then going to "Run Configurations". On the right hand side of the dialogue box, select the "Common" tab. Check the"File" checkbox and mention a physical path+filename in the input textbox. You are all set! Open the specified file in your fav text editor.

JMeter – Working with JSON

This post explains what is JSON and how to  Send JSON Payload in HTTP Request using JMeter. What is JSON? JSON is simply a data format, but one which is more naturally fit for browser data consumption. The reason for this is that JSON is a subset to JavaScript, the de facto programming language used in all browsers. By structuring a data payload as a JSON response, you are effectively bypassing the need to parse an XML document in a browser — typically done via JavaScript of course — to get to the actual data.  In this sense, JSON uses a stripped down syntax compliant with the native JavaScript interpreter provided on all browsers. Access and navigation to JSON data is done through the same standard JavaScript notation used to access string, array or hashtable values in a typical JavaScript application. Listing 1.1 illustrates what a JSON payload would look like. Listing 1.1 : JSON payload example {“item”: { “description”: { “title”: “Backroad Mountain Bikes”, “name”...

How to create an XML Log file in Java using JAXB (Customized)

Using JAX-B, its amazing easy to convert java objects to xml and vice versa. Java Object  --> XML (Marshalling) XML --> Java Object (Unmarshalling) We are going to create 3 DTO's and then, using JAX-B, will print the output to a log file. The DTO's have following hierarchy: TestSteps :--> TestCase :--> TestCases. The Main Class: /**  *  */ package main; import logger.Logger; /**  * @author sundaram  *  */ public class Main { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { Logger logger = new Logger("SampleLog1"); logger.writeToLogTestCase(1.0, "Title 1"); logger.writeToLogTestStep(1.0, 1.1, "Verify that part 1", "PASS", "Function FAM_ClientNotesPane has been executed successfully.", "[Table:NotesPanes; 1] Action = Action,ExecuteVerify = ExecuteVerify");           } } The Logger Class: Will Upload it shortly. Here are the 3 DT...

Existence: Absolute & Relative

Image
 Who am I? Why am I? Where am I? How did I happen exactly? So many unanswered questions. Continuing the premise from my previous post about life and death . I believe I am real. I am real because I perceive the world through my senses. I witness my physical existence. Taking a closer look at my existence, I feel I should revise my statement to I believe I physically exist . I am associated with a medium (my physical body) that enables me to perceive the physical universe. So probably I'm just a consciousness that is aware of this physical world as long as its attached to a functioning medium.  May be this feeling of awareness within me, till my consciousness is aware of this perceivable physical universe, can be referred to as the feeling of being alive.  The association of consciousness with a functioning body is a function of time and is commonly referred as life.   This association deteriorates with time due to limitations of physical body. Of course, it would ch...
