How to generate the log file using the log-back in java

at
Introduction:
  • It is a logging framework which provides faster implementation than log4j.
  • It supports the creation of custom classes for formatting log messages.
  • It supports 3 components loggers, appender, layout for holding, transferring, formatting the log messages.
  • It uses SLF$J as its native interface.
  • The levels of logging are TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR.
  • It writes all log messages in the DEBUG level, does not require any configuration.
log-back
Here is my java class
package com.logs;



import org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

/**
 *
 * @author kalpana podamekala
 */
public class LogbackExample {
    
    /**
     *
     */
   final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LogbackExample.class);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        //DOMConfigurator.configure("logback.xml");
        logger.info("Information message");
        logger.warn("Warning message");
        logger.error("Error message");
        logger.debug("Debug message");
    }
}
