Hi,
thanks for your help. As a start I don't even know how to accomplish this
for straight category names, i.e.
without wildcards. Can you tell me?
Actually my categories are of the form
cat.a
cat.b
someother.cat
Or more precisely, they are a package hierarchy since I create categories
with this.getClass().getName().
So inheritance could be an option if "cat" above is the super category. How
can I define such a category hierarchy?
Is the dot "." as separator enough or is double colon "::" as in your reply
required ?
As i use a personal proxy class for log4j I could replace all "." with "::"
to create the hierachy if that is what is needed.
What do you think ?

I don't think you can do 'wildcard'-matching with category names (I've
thought briefly about doing this in Perl where it would even be possible,
but in Java that's pretty far-fetched).
The log4j philosophy is based on inheritance: if category1 and category2
are derived from the same base class (e.g. someclass::category1 and
someclass::category2), then you can easily define your desired behaviour by
just configuring the base class (someclass) to your needs -- the subclasses
will then just inherit it. Wouldn't that be an option?
