Hi Brendon, I suppose if you(program)want to decide which file to log then you could probably define property/xml file and configure it explicitly since default log4j.properties/xml will write the same contents onto both files(xxx.log,yyy.log)irrespective of which one to chose and write. Since you are loading it explicitly you can define which file to write.

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..
