Redirect stacktraces to logfile instead of console output?

whenever I get an unhandled exception or stacktrace output in the serverconsole, I would rather be saving this to a global logfile. And not to print it in the server console.

How can I prevent or redirect these errors?

You can change the PrintStream instance that is set for System.err via the method System.setErr. However, this will redirect all output sent to System.err to the log file.

Although this is not kosher on java-ee, in general, have a look at UncaughtExceptionHandler.

In earlier days, you had to manage a threadgroup to intercept uncaught exceptions, but now you can set the default handler.
