Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I used a
different return address and I don't think it made it to the list.

Subject: SmtpAppender for ERROR conditions We're currently logging DEBUG priority statements
to std out and a log file, now we'd like to send email for serious problems in
the code.
our original config file was:
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, STD_OUT,
ROOT_FILE
And we changed it to:
log4j.rootCategory=ERROR,
EMAIL
log4j.category.com=DEBUG, STD_OUT, ROOT_FILE (I'll omit the configuration of each
appender...)
All of our categories are named after the full
package name of the class they're in, so "log4j.category.com" effectively covers
all our categories.
Is this the best way to do it?.. it just seems
strange that rootCategory is the email appender, while log4j.category.com (which
is also a "root" category) is set to what rootCategory used to be. Am I
missing some concepts?
One other way would be to define a new category
called "mail", and then our code would have to instantiate another category for
emailing, in addition to the normal category named after the individual
class.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wes
