I know, it sounds a little ridiculous (lol)......I'm working with Jboss and I setup the console appender with a threshold value of debug. I have a "Scheduling" class that logs every 5 seconds what is in it's queue. And between Jboss and that scheduling class the console is a bit cluttered. So I only want to see debug statements that involve the classes that I have written. I'll eventually turn the filter off in production.
Does that make sense? "The parameter could be a comma-delimited string, which you could parse with a StringTokenizer very easily." Man o' man....I wish I would think things through before I ask the list for help :) Thanx Yaov- Russ -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 9:34 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: Custom Filter Question Howdy, The parameter could be a comma-delimited string, which you could parse with a StringTokenizer very easily.
