Override log level (java.util.logging) with JVM-argument?

Question

Is it possible to override/set log level of java.util.logging.Logger by passing an JVM option on start of the application?

There are the following system properties available where you can configure log levels of loggers and initialisation logic.

java.util.logging.manager
- You can define your own LogManager
java.util.logging.config.class
- Custom logging configuration as a Class file
java.util.logging.config.file
- Custom logging configuration as configuration file

Thanks, you verified what I believed as well. – aksamit Mar 19 '13 at 10:25 — aksamit, Mar 19 '13 at 10:25
