Mark, Do I need to specify a special flag in layout for MDC to work? BTW - I have found only Beta version of 1.2 Regards Janusz

If so, one option might be to set the NDC (nested diagnostic context) value to the sub-system value and then filter the messages to different appenders based on the NDC value. The categories would still use their same logging names, but the NDC would track the subsystem in which they are being used. With the release of v1.2 you might want to take a look at using MDC insated of NDC. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Janusz Dalecki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 7:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: partitioning log4j into sub-systems We have a very big system, with plenty of classes and sub-projects. I would like to configure log4j in such a way that categories are not particular classes (as it is now) but sub-systems (one class can belong to a few sub-systems) - is there any other way of doing that then introducing a property for every single class - let's say loggerName that would then be set at run-time to the sub-system's logger name to log messages in that category?. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
