How can use the built in logger utility to wirte log messages to a file?

Hi,
 
   I am new to JDK 6 and want to have my log output go to a file AND the console.  The below code works for me, but it only writes to the console.  Any suggestions on how to make it write to a file AND console?

Thanks!
Logger l = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
        l.setLevel(Level.ALL);
        
        String wsAddress = "http://localhost:8765/";
        Endpoint.publish(wsAddress, new TestWebService());
        l.log(Level.INFO,"The web service started.  It can be located at " + wsAddress);

Bear in mind that most professional programs use log4j, not the JDK logging API
