Yes, this is what I am looking for. Thanks much. However, in your example, the logger should be more like this:
<logger name="org.myorganization.mypackage.mysubpackage" additivity="false"> <level value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="A1"/> </logger> where the level tag precedes the appender-ref tag, and the appender-ref ref attribute is the name of the appender. --Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:hoju@;visi.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 12:51 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: Can groups of classes be assigned independent appenders? It all depends on how you name your loggers. The common way to name your loggers is, of course, private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName()); this would end up being called something like: org.myorganization.mypackage.mysubpackage.MyClass to have every class in "mysubpackage" have logging enabled for the level "debug" I'd do: <appender name="A2" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <param name="File" value="c:\main.log" /> <param name="Append" value="false" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <logger name="org.myorganization.mypackage.mysubpackage" additivity="false"> <appender-ref ref="MyFileAppender"/> <level value="debug"/> </logger> Notice the additivity="false". If I didn't have that, I'd also be logging what the <root> logger or any other logger this logger might be inheriting from had defined to log. Is that what you were looking for?
