Can somebody help me out? Thank you

        logger = LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger(className);
        FileHandler logFile = new FileHandler(file);

        // create txt Formatter
        SimpleFormatter formatterTxt = new SimpleFormatter();
        logFile.setFormatter(formatterTxt);         
        logger.addHandler(logFile);
