RE: package level Logger configuration?

[Klein, Scott @ TW]

Mark -

I had tried it, but I must have missed something because the second before
your reply arrived I tried again and had it working ;)  Doh!

thanks!

Scott,

Have you tried it?  Yes, it should work as you expect, and I think your
syntax is fine, but then I don't use the PropertyConfigurator.  In XML it
would look like:

    <logger name="<package_name>">
        <level value="debug"/>
          <appender-ref name="A1"/>
    </logger>
    <logger name="<another_package_name>">
        <level value="fatal"/>
          <appender-ref name="A1"/>
    </logger>

or something like that.  I use this quite often to set the level for all the
classes within a given package and then I set the level for individual
classes within that package as needed.  So, adding another configuration:

    <logger name="<another_package_name>.FooClass1">
        <level value="debug"/>
    </logger>

hope it helps,
-Mark
