Thanks for the response. I am trying to think of a way to still succeed.
What I want to do is to send all logging messages from anything related to FOP to their own file. In the logging.properties, I tried: org.apache.fop.FileHandler = java.util.logging.FileHandler org.apache.fop.FileHandler.pattern = logs/docgen.log org.apache.fop.FileHandler.limit = 5000 org.apache.fop.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter but that does not work. I can say java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = logs/docgenAll.log and that will send all logging messages from any source to the file docgenALL - hwoever, I don't want all the messages - only ones froma class in the fop hierarchy. What should I do to accomplish this ?
