I linked a GAE app to a Custom Endpoint.

Every time I send a request to this Custom Endpoint (and of course the request goes to the GAE app), the app logs all my BL code.

It's quite a long log each time :D

Is this my fault or is it something that automatically happens?

Can I disable this?





** I created my GAE application starting from the sample "quickstart" that is in Kinvey BL SDK. **

all I do about logging is to import the logger

import java.util.logging.Logger;



initialize it:

public class Resize {

public final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(Resize.class.getName());

...



and use it a few times like this:

LOGGER.info("fileUrl: " + fileUrl);

hmm, okay so it's not something that happens by default...



On that file I have no other log with "LOGGER", if not a LOGGER.info("Done.");

I don't know if there's other ways to log and I accidentally wrote that without realizing it...but I don't think so.



In AppConfiguration.java I have the only other log:



...

public class AppConfiguration implements ServletContextListener {

private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(AppConfiguration.class.getName());

...

LOGGER.info("App is being configured.");

...



And then I have something on web.xml about "LoggingFilter" ...but that's just some parameter and it was there by default.



Studying a bit the log I realized it's all part of something that basically logs my request, in a very extended way: there's headers, body, authorization, but also a big part containing all my Kinvey account parameters... and within these, under "arguments"."bl" I have listed all my BL code.



This is how my logs look like on GAE:

(I was wrong saying it doesn't log my logs...cause I realized it actually does, I just had a hard time finding them ;) )

},

... and then basically it goes on with the other collections, and other parameters about my

Kinvey account, the request body, headers, response, etc.



... and after all of this I have my log "Done."

actually, now that I read my post I realize that the log starts with LoggingFilter, that is exactly what's in the web.xml

I don't really know what that is or how it works, cause I used the default web.xml .... this is the code of that file:

You can see LoggingFilter as value in the first 2 init-params

Should I take one of those 2 init-param off the servlet?

Yep, it is logged on GAE -- sorry I realize I didn't specify where the data was logged.

But that makes it confusing for me to find any custom log I want to have and quickly fills up my Log storage space.

Is there a way to hinder the app to log the whole request?



I'll try deleting some element from web.xml and see what happens :D

Okay, cool, found the solution.

It was simple if I only knew more about Java web apps :)



Just need to delete the "com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter" reference from "ContainerRequestFilters" param on web.xml, cause I only want to read logs from the response, but I'm not interested in logging the whole request.
