hi all, i am new to using log4j. in my project, a file appender is defined in the configuration (property)file. in the proeperty file i donot give the name of the destination for the appender. instead i wish to set it programmatically after retrieving the file appender and then using setOption(String key,String value) method. but it doesn't seem to work. on running i get a message saying that "no output target set for the file appender" can u help me. thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
