Ummm, thanks . . but no, it didn't work.
However, when I set it to INFO it works as expected.
Does this imply that my subclass of Category or Priority is incorrect ?
My subclass of Priority (actually called com.ebss.utilities.PPCSPriority)
is included below.
(Note: besides subclassing Category & Priority, I added/modified
no other code.)
Thanks

Try <param name="PriorityToMatch" value="NOTIFY#your.Priority.subclass" />
