Currently I use log4j via an abstracted static class. I have a method called
warn, which does the following (it is a little aprroximated - don't have the
code in from of me):
public void warn(Class class, String message) {
Category cat = Category.getInstance(class.getName());
cat.warn(message);
}
The Category and its appenders are created in the static classes getInstance
method by using a PropertyConfigurator. Now for me to extend this idea to
use system and user warnings, from what your saying I'd do the following:
public void systemWarn(Class class, String message) {
Category cat = Category.getInstance(class.getName()+".system");
cat.warn(message);
}
public void userWarn(Class class, String message) {
Category cat = Category.getInstance(class.getName()+".user");
cat.warn(message);
}
However, I'm unsure how this would work - surely the getInstance method will
try and find a category for a class (assuming I called userWarn() for a
class in com.bob.MyClass) com.bob.MyClass.user (e.g. a non-existing class).
So when configuring my Category initially using the property file, how would
I create my Category to match this when getInstance is called?
Sorry if my question doesn't make much sense.....
