Piyush Would'nt multiple "Loggers" solve the problem for you? You can dynamically "create" a new Logger add an appropriate Appender(File,etc) or if already configured in the properties file that would be picked up. This way you have log files for each application. It would'nt be possible or even feasible to over-ride Log4J resource loading functionality.
if you have multiple config files, I'd say concatenate them. If this does'nt make sense, then you may have to explain your case in more detail to warrant multiple config files. rajiv -----Original Message----- From: Piyush Agrawal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 6:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: URGENT help needed! Mutliple applications using log4j on a Single server Hi, We are building a auditing component (that wraps around log4j) for logging purpose. Now this is a reusable component that will be used by each application through out the enterprise. And all the applications will be deployed on the WAS 4.0.2 on the AIX box. My problem: Log4j is based on the Singleton pattern, but the need here is each application will have a its own log4j.config file(i.e. log4j.config file will be different for each application). And multiple application will be installed/deployed on the same WAS default server (Single server). My problem is how will log4j singleton pattern will take care of the multiple log4j.config files for different applications? Is there some JVM partitioning done? Any help on this subject would be highly appreciable. Reply ASAP.
