Check out conversion patterns in pattern layout.
Here is a sample from my log4j config file:
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n"/>
</layout>
You can define any layout you want using the PatternLayout.

Sorry if this is newbie but I am somewhat new to Java. I have poured thru several books and cannot find anything that does what I want.I have to generate reports with multiple columns of variable width. I need a java class to format these. In C, I would do this: printf("%10s %10s %-10s", string1, string2, string3); This would effectively create three columns 10 characters wide and right justify the last column. I am sure I could 'jerry rig' this behavior but this is part of an application that will get heavy usage and I would prefer a clean, robust approach. (Note: This is a very scaled down example, the actual reporting is much more complex) Does tomcat come with a utility to do this? (or does anyone know of any public domain classes out there) Much thanks, Chuck ---------- This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
