I would suggest following:
PackageAppender (threshold DEBUG)
+ Filter: DENY = (event.getLoggerName() eq. "com.package.class2" )
and
(event.getLevel() = DEBUG)
DebugAppender (threshold DEBUG)
Logger "com.package" with appender PackageAppender, inherited=true
RootLogger with DebugAppender
I am not shure if the event.getLoggerName() returns the configured logger name
or the name which you gave when getting the Logger. The solution above can be
used if the second is true. Else you have to define two loggers:
Logger "com.package.class1" with appender PackageAppender, inherited=true
Logger "com.package.class2" with appender PackageAppender, inherited=true
The problem with filters is that it has three return values: DENY, NEUTRAL,
ACCEPT. If you use more than one filter on an appender you have to watch the
order of declaration. DENY and ACCEPT are absolute, means the following filter
is not asked anymore. Only NEUTRAL will also ask the next filter in the chain.
