import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class LoggingServlet extends HttpServlet {

  private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LoggingServlet.class);

   HttpServletResponse response)

  throws ServletException, IOException {
  response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
