I have a system that uses both Apache Camel and Karaf. I need some specific processor to log into a new log instead of the default one ,karaf.log.
I have reached that there is a file called "org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg" that is responsible for logging configuration . Here it's the file before I mess with it : ################################################################################ # # Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more # contributor license agreements.

Regarding the karaf.log , I got this : Jul 18, 2011 6:00:03 PM org.apache.karaf.main.SimpleFileLock lock INFO: locking The question is : how could I log into"new.log" just in case a specific processor . Others will be logged into the karaf.log !! -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Log-into-an-additional-file-at-Apache-Karaf-using-DSL-tp4600390p4600390.html Sent from the Camel Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
