Mark is absolutely right, the javadoc for PropertyConfigurator reads: "The PropertyConfigurator does not handle the advanced configuration features supported by the DOMConfigurator such as support for Filters, custom ErrorHandlers, nested appenders such as the AsyncAppender, etc."
I sugguest starting with XML configuration files sooner rather than later; it gives you full freedom with respect to configurable Log4j parameters, and is also (in my opinion) much more perspicuous than property files. -- Thomas | -----Original Message----- | From: Mark Womack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: 07 June 2002 21:23 | To: 'Log4J Users List' | Subject: RE: Filters and configuration | | | Scott, | | Filters can be added via a configuration file.
