In the last beta announcement Ceki said that he's going to be away from email for a couple of weeks, so you'll have to deal with just us mere mortals 'til then... 1) There's a number of options. But the easiest is that if you don't log anything with a priority of FATAL, then setting the root category to have a threshold of FATAL will effectively turn off all logging. (Assuming you don't override the root category's threshold anywhere, of course.) 2) I think I remember seeing that there's a bug in using that feature in 1.04. It appears to be fixed in the 1.1beta. If you want to keep with the 1.04 codebase for now, you can override the appender to simply make sure you write out the header after setting the writer/file, and write out the footer yourself before closing the file. (The setFile(..) and close() methods, I believe.) -Jim Moore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Turn off logging, and getHeader()/getFooter() in layout class Hi all, and good evening ceki (you will probably be the only one to answer this), I am using log4j and it meets almost all my requirements. However I have two questions (1) How do I turn all logging off from the CONFIG file ? What do I need to set ? If the user does not want to log anything how should he configure the config file ? (2) I have created my own layout class (to output in xml) and I would like to set an appropriate xml header (I subclasses layout and overridden the getHeader() method) public String getHeader() { StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(); buf.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n"); return buf.toString(); } while everything in the layout is ok, this header never appears anywhere in the log file. The same can be said if you try to set a footer. Why ? (I am using fileappender)... ANy Ideas Please anyone ?
