IBM Worklight - Debug a Worklight Autenticator and/or Login Module

Question

I have a custom Autenticator in a Worklight hybrid project like this

public class MyCustomAuthenticator implements WorkLightAuthenticator{
    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyCustomAuthenticator.class.getName());

    private Map<String, Object> authenticationData = null;

    public void init(Map<String, String> options) throws MissingConfigurationOptionException {
        logger.info("MyCustomAuthenticator initialized");
    }
    ...
}

But I don't see where does Worklight put those logger messages. Am I missing something?

The info center documentation says that the logs messages are put in Studio Console as well as in server.log and audit.log. I have looked at those files and had not luck — user2209957, Apr 05 '13 at 14:45

In your server/conf folder look for the development.logging.properties file and uncomment the following properties:

 com.worklight.level = FINE
 java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = FINE

Then see if the logs appear in your development console.

Perhaps this new instructional video, "Logging and Debugging in Worklight Server", will help you to debug your Java code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmWBrCilt3Q

The shown in the video assumes you are using Worklight 6.0.

Also see:

Worklight 5.0.6.1 - System.out.println() logging from Worklight adapter is not working

In JavaScript you can use WL.Logger.

In Java you can use logger.info or logger.warning by importing java.util.logging.Logger.
logger.info / logger.warning will be printed to the Eclipse Worklight console.

What is the worklight version? If it 5.0.5 and above, after activating your project, the logs should be in ...WorklightServerHome\PROJECT_NAME\logs
