Tom, I'm wondering if the custom trace level 'OurLogLevel' overrides all of the necessary methods in order to accurately identify "trace" as a valid Level. I experience the same problem you are having when I attempted to add a custom level. Does the OurLogLevel class have 'overrides' for the toLevel() methods?

In my log4j properties file (XML format) I have set up a particular appender that writes to a file. I have also specified a particular Pattern for the appender. Now the logging entries are being written to the appender but are not using the pattern that I specified. The appender is specified in the logging file as follows <appender name="PerfAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <param name="File" value="Perf.log" /> <param name="Append" value="true" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> This appender is then associated with a a particular logger as follows: <logger name="MainLog"> <level class="de.start.sip.tools.logging.OurLogLevel" value="trace"/> <appender-ref ref="PerfAppender" /> </logger> When I execute my application the Perf.log file is being written however it does not include the datetime which I would expect from using %d in the specified pattern for the appender. Not all the code is my own so its possible that there is somthing going on that I dont know about but what I need to know is the possible ways in which an appender could be used without actually using the specified pattern?
