Notes

• If a problem is related to the communication between client and server, the RMI communication needs to be activated.
• As increased logging costs performance, other features should only be activated as needed or after clarification with Customer Services or Product Development.
• The logging goes by default to a window. It can also be redirected to a file or to console on unix systems.

A new log file will be written at ~/Library/Preferences/censhare/<version>/javaclient-0.0.log
