James you are right. I am doing 'new' every time. Can you please tell me why this is happening. Because I am calling the log method in the current instance.
Loggers are static objects. Each time you call new on your class, you are creating a new Appender instance and attaching it to the same root logger, so you get n appenders (n = number of times you have called new on your wrapper) processing every message that is sent to the root logger, which results in n duplicates. To fix this, I can see two alternatives: 1.- Use a static block to create and initialize the appender so that only one gets created at class loading instead of a new appender for every instance, or... 2.- ...use a configuration file to define the appender. I prefer #2 - it's cleaner, you can modify your logging configuration without having to edit code. The way you have it right now, even changing the date format in the log messages implies that you have to edit code, recompile and redeploy your app. Cheers, -- Javier González Nicolini --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
