First, it's not a good idea to subclass the Logger class. Better write a wrapper if you want to centralize some logging policies.
Your problem can be solved if you do not call the super.info() etc., but the generic log(String callerFQCN, Priority level, Object message, Throwable t) method. The first parameter you fill with "this.getClass().getName()". The code inside log4j which calculates the location info looks up within the call hierarchie, stripping all classes away until (including) the given one by callerFQCN. Like this you will obtain the location where you have called your wrapper class.
