Network logging for Java desktop application

I have a java desktop application that is installed locally on users
machines via Java Web Start, and would like to centralize the logging to
facilitate diagnosing bugs.

The app uses the standard java logging framework that comes with J2SE.
Apparently with this logging framework the standard way to do network
logging is to use java.util.logging.SocketHandler. I couldn't find any
complete examples on the Web, and the documentation is completely mute about
what should be running on the server side to collect the information sent by
SocketHandler.

So, have any of you done network logging in Java, and what software did you
use? Did you use J2SE+SocketHandler, classic unix syslog, Log4J, or
something better/different? And in particular what software did you run on
the log server?

Thanks
