Whatty -----Original Message----- From: Steven Whatmore [mailto:steven.whatm...@purefacts.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 12:58 PM To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org Subject: Controlling the log message format Good morning, I would like to be able to control the format of the message, removing the initial prefix As an example if the format of my message is: com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl: 2010-05-11 12:50:05,466 DEBUG [9] com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl - handling sessionStart event I would like to remove the initial "com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl" part resulting in: 2010-05-11 12:50:05,466 DEBUG [9] com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl - handling sessionStart event I have tried it through configuration but can't seem to control the prefix I took a quick look through the code and as far as I can tell this is not configurable. Am I correct? Whatty
