That would be great! In the meantime, I might try to do this myself by creating my own Appender subclass: # My::Log4perl::Appender::File defaults to my preferred layout and layout.ConversionPattern log4perl.appender.file1 = My::Log4perl::Appender::File log4perl.appender.file2 = My::Log4perl::Appender::File Do you have a vague idea of how I might approach this? Or is it too diffiicult, and I should just suck up the repetition until the inheritance feature? :) Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
