1) If you are logging to a file, then the machine where the logging is being
performed will need access to the volume. Please be aware that a file
cannot be shared across multiple log4j instances, only one instance can have
the file open at one time in the current implementation. If you do not want
to have the volume mounted on the machine, then you should look at the other
appenders that allow "remote" appending like SocketAppender or JMSAppender.
2) Appenders can have "filters" defined for them that will conditionally
allow logging events through to the appender. These filters have become
fairly rich and configurable in the upcoming 1.3 version but there is a very
usable set in the 1.2.X release and it is very easy to implement your own if
you need more.

Subject: log4j doubt
Hi
Apache logger has support for logging into files through file appender. But,
if my file is existing on a different location on the "intranet", how should
i specify that network location in the log4j.properties? Also, please point
to the issues that are inherently present with this sort of remote logging.
2. Supposing that we define a new appender for logging onto a n/w file, how
to conditionally instruct logger to log to that appender when a special case
is satisfied? what i know is that when logging has to be done, apache logger
does so dutifully to all the appeneders defined in the log4j.properties file
thanks
