Hi Steve,
Thanks for the example. For my project, I'd like to do the following,
#############################################################
# Define the root category
#############################################################
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, STDOUT
log4j.appender.STDOUT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout.ConversionPattern=.............
#############################################################
# Define logger-specific appenders
#############################################################
log4j.cat1=DEBUG,FILE1
log4j.cat1=ERROR,FILE2
log4j.cat1=FATAL,MAIL3
log4j.additivity.cat1=false
log4j.cat2=DEBUG,FILE4
log4j.cat2=ERROR,FILE5
log4j.cat2=FATAL,MAIL6
log4j.additivity.cat2=false
#define appenders for each category
#############################################################
I find that I'm unable to log anything unless I specify all
appenders as part of the rootCategory.
i.e log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, STDOUT, FILE1, FILE2, MAIL3, FILE4,
FILE5, MAIL6
Once I include all the appenders in the rootCategory, when I log for
cat2, it writes to the files for cat1 and cat2.
I'm defining a category as,
Category cat = Category.getInstance("cat1");
before I start logging. I would like to be able to use the
categories as shown in your example (without having to specify the appenders
for the categories in the root as well). What changes will I need to make
for this?
Thanks,
Ranjini.
