Ceki This is not quite what I meant. I am not really referring to an application version, but rather a string tag that can be set (typically with a different value) at a program level. I find this useful in order to establish that I am running the correct program, and not an older version. So what I would do is change the string tag in a particular program, then if that tag appears in my log statements, I would know for sure that I am running that version of the program. One way of resolving this is to be able to create a conversion pattern like: "XYZApp %v %d [%t] %p %c - %m%n"
where v is settable at an individual program level. Every program mustthen have a way of setting the v variable. (probably a static final) Is this possible in log4j, or do you have any other way of achieving a similar effect.
