Hi Oleg, I had a similar problem when I started using HttpClient last year. Not thread-based though. I'm in a servlet engine, so I don't know which thread will be processing the request that uses HttpClient. I'd like to have different log settings per HttpClient instance, but that's not possible because they all use the same static loggers.
It's not a big issue for me now, since I have enough application level tracing. But if someone has an idea how this problem could be solved once and for all, it might be worth considering for 4.0. Like creating a logger for each HttpClient instance instead of each implementation class. Or falling back to the class logger only if no instance logger is configured in the params. cheers, Roland "Kalnichevski, Oleg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 26.04.2004 18:34 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: "Commons HttpClient Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: customizing debugging levels per httpclient instance Jorrit, HttpClient relies on commons-logging toolkit to do all its logging. The commons-logging itself is merely an abstraction layer intended to provide a uniform interface to different logging toolkits. If there is a toolkit capable of assigning different appenders on per thread basis, then HttpClient can be configured to take advantage of it. To my best knowledge Log4j cannot assign individual appenders to different threads within the same application (within the same class loader context rather). You may consider evaluating a different logging toolkit that provides such a feature, or file a feature request with the Log4j project. Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Jorrit Kronjee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 13:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: customizing debugging levels per httpclient instance Hello, I have an application consisting of two threads. Both threads have an own instance of httpclient and use it for different things. I would like to see the wire of one of the threads, but suppress the other. I use log4j. log4j can set the debugging level (trace or not) based on package/class names. I was wondering if it's possible to set the class name for http client, so i can customize my debugging per thread. Or perhaps I'm not understanding it correctly. If this is not possible, I would like to make this a feature request.
