Hi Ram, Thanks for the info but i already tried this configuration and it turns out the logging are the same...
xxx.log content the same with yyy.log What i like to know is that how will my class determine which log file to use? If i want to log to xxx.log or yyy.log, how will i point to this file? Any ideas, please help.

For example.. log4j.rootCategory=debug, A1, A2 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.A1.File=xxx.log log4j.appender.A1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=3 log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.A2.File=yyy.log log4j.appender.A2.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n log4j.appender.A2.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.A2.MaxBackupIndex=3 There will be a two log file xxx.log and yyy.log. Hope this helps..
