Have you looked at the Threshold property in AppenderSkeleton?
This is from the log4j FAQ:
Is it possible to direct log output to different appenders by priority?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is. Setting the Threshold option of any appender extending AppenderSkeleton,
(most log4j appenders extend AppenderSkeleton) to filter out all log events with lower
priority than the value of the threshold option.
For example, setting the threshold of an appender to DEBUG also allow INFO, WARN,
ERROR and FATAL messages to log along with DEBUG messages. (DEBUG is the lowest
priority). This is usually acceptable as there is little use for DEBUG messages
without the surrounding INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages. Similarly, setting the
threshold of an appender to ERROR will filter out DEBUG, INFO and ERROR messages but
not FATAL messages.
This policy usually best encapsulates what the user actually wants to do, as opposed
to her mind-projected solution.
See sort4.lcf for an example threshold configuration.
I hope this anwers the question. Ceki
