Turn Off Apache Common Logging
<p>I am using Apache Common Logging library in my standalone application. After searching through the web, I try to turn off the logging by using</p>

<pre><code>package javaapplication1;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

/**
 *
 * @author yccheok
 */
public class Main {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog");

        log.info("You do not want to see me");
    }

    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Main.class);
}
</code></pre>

<p>However, I still can see the log message being printed. May I know what had I missed out?</p>

<p>I can turn off the logging by putting</p>

<pre><code># Sample ResourceBundle properties file
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog
</code></pre>

<p>in commons-logging.properties.</p>

<p>However, during my development time, my Netbeans doesn't know where to get commons-logging.properties, and sometimes I need to turn off logging during development time.</p>
