Hello,
My app is setup to send e-mails using the email appender when fatal log4j
messages are generated.
I want to programatically prepend a string to the subject to indicate what
"environment" (local, test, qa, prod) generated the message.
If I step through the code below in my debugger I can see that the
appender's subject is changed and when I come through the servlet the 2nd
time I see that the modified subject is still there.
However, the e-mail that arrives in my inbox does NOT have the modified
subject.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
log4j.properties snippet
...
log4j.appender.EMAIL=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.EMAIL.Threshold=FATAL
log4j.appender.EMAIL.BufferSize=10
log4j.appender.EMAIL.Subject=Fatal error encountered
og4j.appender.EMAIL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.EMAIL.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %c %-5p - %m%n
...
servlet code snippet
...
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
String currEnv = (String)context.getAttribute("CurrentEnvironment");
SMTPAppender appender =
(SMTPAppender)Logger.getRootLogger().getAppender("EMAIL");
appender.setSubject(currEnv.toUpperCase()+": "+appender.getSubject());
log.fatal("There was a fatal error doing ...");
...
Thanks!l
