Log4j can also determine the caller as can logback. Logback can also determine and print the caller of the caller, or the caller of the caller of the caller. See http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#ClassicPatternLayout and then search for the "caller" conversion word. The caller converter can be instructed to print the caller only when certain criteria are met as specified by an evaluator. However, printing caller information is different than naming loggers after the method as Robert described in his email. > >> 4) passing the stacktrace to the output (depending on how you configure the >> pattern) >> so that if you are interested in what it was that changed the field or >> called the >> method you don't need trace logging on for the entire application I think the caller converter mentioned above already does what you want. -- Ceki Gülcü Logback: The reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging framework for Java. http://logback.qos.ch _______________________________________________ logback-dev mailing list logback-dev@qos.ch http://qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-dev
