Sending special messages to a different appender

2006-09-14 Thread Bender Heri 
declare a separate logger with your SPECIAL_APPENDER attached and additivity 
flag false. You are not forced to use the classname as logger name. You can 
choose any string (i.e. SPECIAL_LOGGER).

 I wish to write a separate log of certain special and important
 messages.  In perl, this might go:
 
 print NORMALLOG foo;
 print NORMALLOG fum
 print SPECIALLOG special message;
 
 Can this be done with log4j?  This would be something looking 
 roughly like:
 
 logger.info(fum);
 logger.debug(foo);
 logger.debug(loo);
 logger.info(SPECIAL_APPENDER,foo);
 
 I can't divide these messages based on the class that's 
 printing them. 
 I somehow need to create a new and totally separate log file.  Is this
 possible?

 PS1:  Why?  This is a poorman's mirroring system.  The idea 
 is to dump a
 certain special checkpoint messages to a remote syslog server 
 for archiving.
 
 PS1: the log4j.properties file is:
 
 log4j.appender.A1 = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
 log4j.appender.A1.file = /tmp/fooble.log
 log4j.appender.A1.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
 log4j.appender.A1.layout.conversionPattern = %d %-5p %m - %c{2}%n
 log4j.appender.A1.append = false
 
 log4j.appender.SPECIAL_APPENDER=org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender
 log4j.appender.SPECIAL_APPENDER.SPECIAL_APPENDERHost=209.99.99.31
 log4j.appender.SPECIAL_APPENDER.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
 log4j.appender.SPECIAL_APPENDER.layout.ConversionPattern=%p: %c - %m
 log4j.appender.SPECIAL_APPENDER.Facility=SPECIAL_APPENDER
 
 log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, A1
 log4j.category.org.foo.fum = SPECIAL_APPENDER
 
 This works fine, except org.foo.fum needs to continue to send regular
 output to A1, without cluttering SPECIAL_APPENDER.

I suggest that you create 2 loggers per class.
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass());
Logger loggerSpecial = Logger.getLogger(special. + getClass().getName());

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR
log4j.category.org = A1
log4j.category.special = SPECIAL_APPENDER
