Hi to all,
(This is a little longish, but I had to add words to make things clear.
We are stuck.
Please read till the end).
***********
Question :
***********
How to use more that 1 configuration file in 1 app :
***********
Problem :
***********
PropertyConfigurator.configure(.) overwrites previous choices
***********
Usage :
***********
We are building a simple log relayer/dispatcher, that listens on
socket ports, and relays/resends incoming logEvents with log4j,
to other log4j appenders, or even another relaye.
Each port is dedicated to 1 client application.
ex :
port 2010 = logs coming from app "x1"
port 2011 = logs coming from app "x2"
Obviously, the logging requirements are not the same for each app.,
so we want to use 1 log4j configuration file for each app/port
ex :
conf_2010.log4j = log4j instructions to relay app "x1" logEvents
conf_2011.log4j = log4j instructions to relay app "x1" logEvents
***********
Problem :
***********
PropertyConfigurator.configure(.) is static, and
overwrites previous choices
***********
How to reproduce
***********
with
file: conf_2010.log4j :
----------------------
...
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
og4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=***********%m%n
...
file: conf_2011.log4j :
----------------------
(idem but for :
og4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=------------%m%n
test code :
--------------------
public class spike () {
public static void main (..){
//
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch( file1_tirets );
cat1 = Category.getInstance("cat1");
cat1 .debug("text 1");
//
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch( file2_stars );
cat2 = Category.getInstance("cat2");
cat2 .debug("text 2");
cat1 .debug("text 1");
cat2 .debug("text 2");
}
}
Result :
***********text1
-----------text2
-----------text1
-----------text2
I want to obtain :
***********text1
-----------text2
***********text1
-----------text2
Is there a solution to this problem?
We are stuck.
Thanks in advance
