Hello Ceki, So, being somewhat new with Log4j, are you saying that given the fact that Tomcat does not do RepositorySelectors for me and also doesn't give me control of the context, that it would be pretty difficult to figure out how to write a custom RepositorySelector? Are there any examples that exist anywhere on this while I wait for my free copy of your upcoming book (thank you for offering this, BTW. When do you expect it to come out?)?
