http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38617 Summary: Support for custom levels without specifying classname Product: Log4j Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Configurator AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hereby I request that custom levels are supported without the need to specify the classname. Currently, the configurators allow the standard levels (such as INFO, ERROR and FATAL) to be specified without specifying a class name. For example, in a properties file: log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, console However, custom levels are only supported if they are referred to by name and classname, separated by a hash. For example: log4j.rootLogger=NOTICE#com.company.log.LogLevel, console I propose the following alternative is supported: log4j.rootLogger=NOTICE, console Currently, configurators use Level.toLevel(String,Level) class method to convert the level string to a Level object. The current implementation (in 1.2.13) is as follows: public static Level toLevel(String sArg, Level defaultLevel) { if(sArg == null) return defaultLevel; String s = sArg.toUpperCase(); if(s.equals("ALL")) return Level.ALL; if(s.equals("DEBUG")) return Level.DEBUG; if(s.equals("INFO")) return Level.INFO; if(s.equals("WARN")) return Level.WARN; if(s.equals("ERROR")) return Level.ERROR; if(s.equals("FATAL")) return Level.FATAL; if(s.equals("OFF")) return Level.OFF; if(s.equals("TRACE")) return Level.TRACE; return defaultLevel; } Proposed implementation scenario: - use an internal Map to convert from String to Level, in the Level class - add an entry to this Map each time a Level instance is constructed, with the appropriate name as the key and the object as the value -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
