Like I said, I doubt this will get into Log4j-1.2.xx unless you provide a patch that doesn't break existing functionality. It may be possible for future versions, but I wouldn't hold my breath unless you or someone else provides a patch implementing the feature. > About your suggestions, I have a general idea about what you mean in order > to specify the oposite situation (so, limit my classes and for others > external libraries apply a default policy: warn level), the problem is that I > am not Log4j expert and it works for me right now, with more configuration > effort, :-( > > Please could you try to expose those changes on my original log4j.xml file? > Well no, because the changes I provided already address everything you want to do. Try it. Logging behavior should be identical, other than the fact that your original file would suffer from duplicate log messages because you redefine appenders in each of the external libraries. That's called "additivity". So, please try my version. It does exactly what you want as far as I can decifer from your original config file and fixes some of its bugs.
