Steve, Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately it doesn't help because I forgot to mention another requirement: I don't know what the packages are ahead of time. I will have them in my logging code as a string beforehand (parse the stack frame of a new Throwable() to get it). Basically, I figure out who my caller is, and log to the logger set up for the caller's package.

Each package in our Java framework should have a corresponding logging category (i.e. com.foo.bar) 2. Each logger category will have a different FileAppender to log to a separate file, with a filename that corresponds to its package name (i.e. com_foo_bar.txt) Any suggestions on what the easiest way to set this up might be? I would like to do as little programmatic setup as possible, putting as much of the setup into a config file.
