Re: Problem to load log4j.dtd
we use log4j in a production environment and it's not easy to change my version of log4j. Is there a bug with the 1.2.4 version that can explain my problem ?

Re: Problem to load log4j.dtd
Log4j-1.2.8 introduced a better entity resolving mechanism and should clear up the problem. There were bugs in previous versions. The change shouldn't do much other than fix your issue.

RE: log different file
Hi Brendon, I suppose if you(program)want to decide which file to log then you could probably define property/xml file and configure it explicitly since default log4j.properties/xml will write the same contents onto both files(xxx.log,yyy.log)irrespective of which one to chose and write. Since you are loading it explicitly you can define which file to write.

RE: log different file
There are a couple of ways to control which logging events go into certain files (more specifically, certain appenders). You could specify named Loggers with package or class names in your log4j config file such that output from certain packages or classes are printed to separate files. You could also extend the Filter class and attach filters to your appenders in your config file so that logging events are routed to separate appenders / files depending on content, level... the possibilities are endless with this approach. We've been using custom filter classes to distribute log output to several files based on NDC and MDC values. I was pleasantly surprised to see similar ones added to the log4j-sandbox in recent months. -Scott Heaberlin -Original Message- From: Ramadoss Chinnakuzhandai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 2:47 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: log different file Hi Brendon, I suppose if you(program)want to decide which file to log then you could probably define property/xml file and configure it explicitly since default log4j.properties/xml will write the same contents onto both files(xxx.log,yyy.log)irrespective of which one to chose and write.

FileAppender
Greetings, When setting up a file appender, the docs say that if the file doesn't exist, it is created. This is true, with the following caveat: if one or more of the directories do not exist, the file is not created. This causes problems if I want to setup a new server to log to a log directory that hasn't been created yet. It adds administrative complexity to require the deployer to know that the directory needs to be created. The code should be smart enough to do this. Does anyone know if more recent releases of log4j have fixed this? If not, can this enhancment be made (or should I make it myself)? All you really need to do is a File.createDirs() in FileAppender.setFile(...). Charles Hudak Software Engineering Manager Arrowhead General Insurance/YouZoom, Inc.
