Problem Description

I am working on the configuration for appclient based vehicle tests in EE11 TCK and need to port the EE10 ts.jte command.testExecuteAppClient to a command line usable with the new appclient protocol and command line launcher. One thing I need for debugging is more logging information from the glassfish8/glassfish/bin/appclient process.

It is possible to configure this to produce an application.log file controlled by a logging.properties JUL or other logging framework settings?

If you can, just edit the appclient script and add a custom logging.properties file with -Djava.util.logging.config.file property in the last line, which invokes the Java process.

You can also set the AS_DEBUG env var to true, that will print some debug info std err that might help you understand what's going on.

I tried to look into the code, seems also export AS_DEBUG=true might print something to STDERR output. But for standard logs I would do the same as Ondro advised.
