Mark, Sorry for not making myself clear. Here is what I mean: I have set the root category to the NullAppender. Then I have created two Loggers in my XML properties file : EventLogger and TraceLogger that each refer to their own appender.
In my Java Classes I create loggers with names likes this: EventLogger.NameOfClass TraceLogger.NameOfClass So all these loggers inherit from the EventLogger or the TraceLogger. What I want to know is, if it is possible to block for example the TraceLogger logger and with this all his children (TraceLogger.Child1, TraceLogger.com.Child2, ...), without blocking my EventLogger logger and his children (EventLogger.Child1, EventLogger.com.org.Child2, ...) and without having to use a NullAppender because this will still invoke computational effort. Hope this explains it more clearly and thanks for your answers.

When you create the trace instance in your classes, what do you pass in as the logger name? The class name? Can you give some examples of names that are passed? -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Frissaer, Jeroen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 8:45 AM > To: Log4j Mailing List (E-mail) > Subject: Stopping logger > > > Hi everyone, > > I'm using a whole bunch of loggers that are children from > EventLogger or > TraceLogger. > How can I for example stop the logging activity of all > loggers that inherit > from the EventLogger? > > I know you can shut down logging entirely for all loggers, > but that is not > what I want because than also my loggers that inherit from > TraceLogger will > be blocked.
