Hi,
I am in need of adding a new level logging in to the log4j.
Requirement is that the new level should be independent of the
existing levels(debug,warn,info error,fatal etc).
I have added the new level by extending Level, Logger and
LoggingFactory classes.
Is it possible to do that by customizing log4j.xml ? It will be
great if some could guide me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

As you've noticed, it isn't easy to do and it makes you maintain a
branched version of log4j.
In many cases, people add levels for reasons that are much better
addressed by using the logger hierarchy more effectively. For
example, they'd like to add a level SECURITY or AUDIT when that is
more a description of the intended audience instead of the
significance of the message to the audience. In that case, having a
branch of the logger hierarchy for security related messages
("security.myapp.foo") is better than logging a message of
Level.SECURITY to "myapp.foo".
If you explain your requirements, maybe we can find a decent solution
that doesn't require you maintaining your own branched copy of log4j.
