If you decide to go in this direction, see http://www.ingrid.org/jajakarta/log4j/jakarta-log4j-1.1.3/docs/deepExtension .html
This example is slightly more complicated than yours. The document presents a solution where various values are passed to the constructor of the extended category factory, which you won't need. You won't need to extend Category, CategoryFactory, LoggingEvent, or PatternConverter. Your values are known internally by Log4j, and thus I think you can get away with only extending PatternLayout and PatternParser. We've done something similar. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Michel Auguste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: New Pattern Layout Hi, I'm managing to add a new pattern layout (%s) in order to add a severity number associated to the level of the message. For instance, when a logging message of level INFO is appended, I would like the severity set to 4, when a logging message of level FATAL is appended, I want a number 1 for severity. Which Log4J classes should I extend to accomplish that ? Any sample would be appreciated Thanks for your help ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any included attachments are from Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation and are intended only for the addressee(s).
