i have setup a standalone grizzly/jersey server using maven and referencing the following dependencies
org.glassfish.griz
I've just had to solve the same problem. Here is my initialization code that convinces Grizzly HTTP server to display errors: http://source.apidesign.org/hg/bck2brwsr/rev/18ae4fbcfb87
Logger l = Logger.getLogger("org.glassfish.grizzly.http.server.HttpHandler");
l.setLevel(Level.FINE);
l.setUseParentHandlers(false);
ConsoleHandler ch = new ConsoleHandler();
ch.setLevel(Level.ALL);
l.addHandler(ch);
I am using Grizzly 2.3.3
Check if you can log something with level FINE in your application.
Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(MyResource.class.getName());
LOG.log(Level.FINE, "a message")
Jersey is using JDK logging and to see its debug output (e.g. in the grizzly console) you have to get the logging configuration right. This configuration file worked for me:
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
.level=FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=ALL
Grizzly uses JDK logging API. Not sure why it doesn't work for you, double check that java.util.logging.config.file property is getting properly resolved.
