I would like to set up a set of separate loggers for my application
messages, that only get messages that I specifically send to them.
So, I would like to send all warning messages that are only from my
application code to a logger that has an appender that is a file. Only
messages that are warnings that my application code emits should
get into this log.
Here is the way I call the logger from Java (inside of WarningLog.java):
============================================================================
==
logWarn = LogFactory.getLog("com.prospectinstitute.util.WarningLog");
logWarn.warn("this is a warning");
Here is the configuration in the XML file:
============================================================================
==
...
<appender name="appwarn" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="WARN"/>
<param name="File"
value="C:\\jbosstomcat\\server\\default\\deploy\\prospect.war\\logs\\warn.lo
g"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="100KB"/>
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="1"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout">
</layout>
</appender>
...
<!-- Limit only -->
<category name="com.prospectinstitute.util.WarningLog">
<priority value="WARN"/>
<appender-ref ref="appwarn"/>
</category>
...
<root>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
<appender-ref ref="appwarn"/>
</root>
...
============================================================================
==
Unfortunately, this log gets extraneous messages from other classes, like
MainDeployer,
that I have to limit to exclude from this log file (I'm using the
JBOSS/Tomcat bundle).
Like this:
============================================================================
==
<!-- Limit MainDeployer categories to ERROR -->
<category name="org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer">
<priority value="ERROR"/>
</category>
It seems like it would be a common idea that you would want to send only
your application messages
to your own application log files. It seems like it should also be a common
thing to do to place different levels
of application messages in different log files. There should not be messages
from any other classes
in these files. And I don't want to turn off any messages for other classes
that I don't control.
But I can't seem to get it working right. Can you tell what I am doing
wrong? I get the log messges to
the specified file, but I feel I shouldn't have to exclude other classes.
Could somone send me an example configuration (or corrections to mine) and
any changes
to the simple Java code?
Thanks,
