Simple definition for Internet banking is doing most of your day to day banking functions through the internet. for example Fund transfers, bills payments, balance inquiries, statement requests.

Since this happens over the internet, there will be Security concerns like phishing and pharming, Cross-site scripting (XSS), keylogger/Trojan horses…etc

1) 3rd party library log4j.jar
2) example “my.properties” file that holds properties

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, dest1, dest2
log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.dest1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.dest2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.dest2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.dest2.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p: %m%n

! This appender will only log messages with priority equal to or higher than
! the one specified here
# Precedance TRACE < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL
log4j.appender.dest2.Threshold=ERROR
! Specify the file name (${property_key} gets substituted with its value)
log4j.appender.dest2.File=log4j.log
! Don’t append, overwrite
log4j.appender.dest2.Append=true
! Control the maximum log file size
log4j.appender.dest2.MaxFileSize=100KB
! Keep backup file(s) (backups will be in filename.1, .2 etc.)
log4j.appender.dest2.MaxBackupIndex=2

3) Example MainClass is the test class for log4j
