------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2006-02-11 21:53 -------
I don't see any mechanism that assigns a numerical level value an unrecognized 
level.  How would log4j 
know whether NOTICE where more or less significant than "ERROR", for example.  
In the current (less than 
optimal) mechanism, that infomation is coded into the class.

The patch seems to predate the restoration of Level extending Priority that 
occurred to bring log4j 1.3 
back into line with log4j 1.2.

I definitely agree the current level extension mechanism is not ideal.  I've 
thought about extending log4j 
to recognize arbitary integer values for levels, so if you wanted 9999 levels 
between DEBUG and INFO you 
could have them without any custom code, though the level names might be 
DEBUG+5000.
