Problem: Obtain an instance of a Category (defined in file with level) with
a null Priority.
My config file (properties) contains:
log4j.category.USER.Category1=INFO
I obtained this by using :
Code:
Category c = userHierarchy.getInstance("USER.Category1");
System.out.println("category1 obtained was...."+c.getName());
System.out.println("category1 priority is...."+c.getPriority());
Category cat = Category.getInstance("tester");
System.out.println("category2 obtained was...."+cat.getName());
System.out.println("category2 priority
is...."+cat.getPriority());
Output:
category1 obtained was....USER.Category1
category1 priority is....null.
category2 obtained was....tester
category2 priority is....null.
However, I have tried using a Category name of:
"log4j.category.USER.Category1", with same result.
Read the following:
public static Category getInstance(String name)
Retrieve a category with named as the name parameter. If the named
category already exists, then the existing instance will be reutrned.
Otherwise, a new instance is created. By default, categories do not have a
set priority but inherit it from the hierarchy. This is one of the central
features of log4j.
Parameters:
name - The name of the category to retrieve
I am creating my Hierarchy object like so:
userHierarchy = new Hierarchy( Category.getInstance("USER") );
If a Hierarchy is created with a Category that has no defined
Priority/Level, then what is the default?
