Actually I just thought of something
1. Implement a custom logfactory
class MyLog4JFactory implements LoggerFactory {
public MyLog4JFactory () {
}
public Logger makeNewLoggerInstance(String name) {
return new MyOwnLogger(name);
}
}
2. and use Logger.getLogger("someclass", new MyLog4JFactory() )...
still stuck here, Is there a way to override the default factory? otherwise,
I am still back at modifying a lot of code.
