Michael,
I don't know if this is significant or not, but it
doesn't appear that you have a layout specified for the Appender
that is being used by the "SomeUniqueString" Logger.

Subject: Using a specific appender at runtime and calling it by name?
I'm reposting this question since I wasn't a member of the mailing
list when I posted this on Yahoo so I don't think it showed up.
I have the following settings in my log4j.properties file:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, normal
log4j.logger.SomeUniqueString=DEBUG, requestLog
# Setup stdout appender
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd/MM/yy HH:mm} [%-
5p] %c{1} - %m%n
# Setup Default Appender
log4j.appender.normal=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.normal.File=normal.log
# Setup requestLog Appender
log4j.appender.requestLog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.requestLog.File=requests.log
When I try and access the logger and log a test message with the
following code the message never appears:
Logger.getLogger("SomeUniqueString").info("This is a test.");
My expectation, given the reading I've done, is that the line of code
above would give me access to a logger using the "requestLog"
appender. Invoking that should put an [INFO] entry into
the "requests.log" logfile. However, the logfile is always a zero
byte file. All the other logging in the application outputs
to "normal.log" just fine. I need to be able to log requests to our
system in a separate logfile with a separate format. Can someone
please give me a nudge in the right direction on how to solve this
problem? Thanks,
Michael
