Steps: 
1. Add log4j-1.2.16 jar file to the project.




2. Add log4j.properties to the project.

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout
 
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\Users\\nn\\Desktop\\nnEclipse4\\UserAuditExample\\systemlog.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
 
# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

3. In LogInController (controller, servlet) add the following code in constructor.
 Logger log = Logger.getLogger(LogInController.class);

4. Add the following code to log the information to the log file.
log.info(message);
eg:
log.info(username+" logs in.");
log.error(username+" failed to log in.");
