Remote logging in GWT in 3 easy steps

Steps to setup remote logging in GWT:

1) Add to app.gwt.xml:

 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.logging.Logging"/>
 <set-property name="gwt.logging.popupHandler" value="DISABLED"/>
 <set-property name="gwt.logging.simpleRemoteHandler" value="ENABLED"/>

1st line adds logging module to the project
2nd line disables annoying logging popup
3rd line enables server side logging

2) Add to web.xml:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>remoteLoggingServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.google.gwt.logging.server.RemoteLoggingServiceImpl</servlet-class>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>remoteLoggingServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/app/remote_logging</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

3) Use standard JDK logging api like this:

 import java.util.logging.Logger;
 ...
 Logger log = Logger.getLogger(App.class.getName());
