Hey Bruce, You can turn off appender additivity by setting it to false. void setAdditivity( bool additive )
Do read http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/manual/Introduction.html. Read the section on "Appender Additivity" -Arun -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] rg] On Behalf Of Bruce Riley Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Specifying the log file name at run time? Hi, I could use some help. I would like to set up log4cxx so that by default it logs to one file, but while running, I want to be able to start writing to another file, and the name of that file is not known up front, so I cannot set it up in the log4j.properties file. (The second file name is based on configuration data that the user specifies in another config file, and it would not be acceptable to the users if they had to separately add an entry in the log4j.properties file.) I've tried creating a separate instance of a RollingFileAppender, and adding that to a new logger instance that I created. The problem is that the output I'm writting to that new logger is also getting to the default log file. Is there a way that I can create a new logger instance with a new log file, and have it only write to that, without writing to the default root log file? Thanks Bruce
