Yeah, I've been wondering about that, too.

How can I > filter the output? Well, assuming you're all working on different machines, set up different log4j config files for each developer. At my company, we do this by having different classpaths for each machine, so that different log4j.properties files get picked up. On Windows, this is done with lines like this in one of our run scripts: set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;properties\%COMPUTERNAME% set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;properties You can do the same thing on unix with $HOSTNAME. The properties directory has common properties, and properties\%COMPUTERNAME% has machine-specific ones. With the path in this order, the machine-specific properties get picked up first. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Colin MacDonald | Software Developer | Templar Corporation | --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
