I'm trying...
I've read through the manual a bunch of times.
I've read through the "Adding Conversion Characters to PatternLayout" sevreal
times.
I've even been up and down the log4j-user mailing list archives a few times.
We are currently using log4j in the "out of the box way" --> a log4j.properties
file, a single hierarchy...
In every class we instantiate a Category object in this manner:
Category log = Category.getInstance( this.getClass().getName() );
We say log.error("An error message"); and it gets logged to both appenders, A1,
A2 (see log4j.properties file below):
Here is what I want to do: With all else remaining the same (ei. An instance of
Category with the five pre-configured priorities in each
class - like above), I want to have another Appender (say a JDBCAppender for
this example) that receives all messages that
are to be called like this:
auditLog.audit("Send this to the security audit trail DB only"); or,
alternately, I would be happy with
auditLog.debug("...");auditLog.info("...");auditLog.warn("...");auditLog.error("...");auditLog.fatal("...");
But I only want the auditLog messages to go to one Appender, the other log
messages would go to A1, A2 (see below).
Do I need to extend Category? Do I need to worry about a new Hierarchy? ??????
Please, if possible, could anyone create a bulleted list ( a sentence a piece )
of what needs to be done?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
