Help: Custom Levels and SocketAppender

[Tom Kasikci]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with the SimpleSocketServer displaying my custom levels
that I've created.

Here's what I have in my client config:

log4j.loggerFactory=testing.MyLoggerFactory
log4j.rootCategory=, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.A1.RemoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.A1.Port=8887

Here's my server config:

log4j.loggerFactory=testing.MyLoggerFactory
log4j.rootCategory=, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c -
%m%n

Here's the code that I call:

static MyLogger logger = (MyLogger) MyLogger.getLogger("ProxyServer.class");

    public static void main(String[] a) throws Exception {

        PropertyConfigurator.configure(System.getProperty("proxy.home") +
File.separator + "proxyserver.properties");
        logger.status("Starting ProxyServer");
    ...

I created a STATUS level that is the same level as DEBUG.  Without using a
SocketAppender, my ouput would look like this:

02-10-04 10:33:05 STATUS ProxyServer.class - Starting ProxyServer

But with the SocketAppender I am getting

02-10-04 10:33:05 DEBUG ProxyServer.class - Starting ProxyServer

My project requires that I output the log in a certain format.  I hope I am
going about this the right way with creating custom Levels and such.  All I
really need are the level names to be outputted differently, and be able to
log two different processes to the same log file.

Thanks for any help,
Tom
