Thanks Scott, Currenlty we are using log4j1.2 , but to support filters we need to use log4j1.3 right? Will it be major changes needed to change it to higher version?
And currently we are using log4j.properties for all types of logging. In addition to that, to configure filters, we need to use log4j.xml for configuring. Can we have both the type of configurations? (i.e log4j.xml for filters and log4j.properties for others) Which one will take precedence?
