Subject: RE: log4j.properties - How to parse outpu to multiple files
Eureka! I have a solution! I now have my logging messages split out into the 4 types
that I support: DEBUG, INFO, WARN & ERROR. My app-debug.log file contains everything,
down to my app-error.log file which only contains errors!
Why is it that these moments tend to occur after midnight... :-)
Note: I switched from log4j.properties to log4j.xml in order to take advantage of
filters, which aren't supported in the properties file.
Here's my log4j.xml file, enjoy:

Subject: log4j.properties - How to parse outpu to multiple files
Greetings log4j list!
I'd like my logging output to be sent to multiple files at once. However, I only want
ERRORs in the app-error.log file, DEBUG in the app-debug.log file, etc. As a potential
compromise, I would be OK if I was able to at least reduce the types of log messages
as the severity increased.
Can anyone assist with my log4.properties file? I've included a copy below, but note
that this config sends all the logging output to all files.
In addition, is there a way to avoid all the duplication in this config file, so I
just have to change the name of the output file in each case, and inherit all the
RollingFileAppender settings as I define each file?
Thanks!
