Hi, I've noticed there is an abstract getHeader() method in the Layout class, which is used for example in HTMLLayout to set the html header.
What I would need is to set the header for a logfile in the log4j configuration file. I'm writing performance data in a CSV format and I'd like to write the column names at the beginning of the file. I had originally hoped that I can set a "header" property for the ConversionPattern layout, something like log4j.appender.statistics.layout.ConversionPattern= %d{yyyy-MM-dd};%d{HH:mm:ss}; %m%n log4j.appender.statistics.layout.header=Day;Hour;Action;Millis but that doesn't work. Should I write an own layout class (and if yes how do I get the value of the header property from the configuration file into my HeaderLayout instance?). Or is there an easier way?
