Hi Sumedha, Just to paraphrase: You're trying to start completely separate JVMs, using the same log4j config file, but you want to have log output for each of the separate JVMs go to a different file? Is that right?
I think one way to do this might be with variable substitution. I've never used it before, but apparently the log4j configuration functionality understands variable substition for Java system properties. So define the location of log file as a variable, then set that variable to the location to log to based on which JVM you're starting. You could have batch files or sheel scripts for starting you're separate JVMs (you probably alread do :) Should be easy; but like I said, I've never used the variable stuff before - I just remember reading something about it on the mailing list ages ago. (Just looked it up - the syntax is provided in the PropertyConfigurator javadoc) Cheers, Shorn. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I as wondering if we can define some properties in > one file and read some > from other file. > We have 4 servers that we configure through log4j, > we have same Level, > Pattern layout for > but different output files.
