IMHO it will be complicating matters if the SocketNode had to decipher
Categories and then look for config files.
However, you can get as granular as you want in that 127.11.11.1.lcf file
(package level/class level). For example, you could say
log4j.category.com.mycompany.Ejb1=WARN, Ejb1Log
...
log4j.category.com.mycompany.Ejb2=WARN, Ejb2Log
If you are not worried about the ip addresses, you could have just one
generic.lcf with all this info
Somebody pl. correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,

Subject: RE: Multiple log files with SocketServer
Hi again,
By 'client group' I mean a group of EJB's. All the EJB's and the
SocketServer reside on the same server machine. In that case I can't
separate them by IP adress.
If I somehow could get the category name in SocketServer::main method (where
it listens) I could look at the category name and log to different log files
based on that. I mean instead of looking at the IP address (for example
127.11.11.1) and then look in configDir if there is any configuration file
called 127.11.11.1.lcf, I would like to look at the category name (for
example traceCat) that did send the message to SocketServer and look for the
config file traceCat.lcf.
Is there any other easier way of doing this, I mean log to files depending
on the category? (Totally one log file per category.)
