I ran into this problem myself, Sre, and happily, I found a solution that works.
IF you are going to wrap log4j's wrapper Logger class with your own wrapper class, in this case, your Log4j class, you need to make sure that your wrapped class calls this form of Logger.log: --- paste from log4j javadoc ---- public void log(String callerFQCN, Priority level, Object message, Throwable t) This is the most generic printing method. It is intended to be invoked by wrapper classes. Parameters: callerFQCN - The wrapper class' fully qualified class name. level - The level of the logging request. message - The message of the logging request. t - The throwable of the logging request, may be null. -- end paste -- Make sure you pass your wrappers class name in the callerFQCN arg, and then log4j will be smart enough to get the line and filename information to the appender. Hope this helps. doug > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 10:29 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: File name and Line number problem > > Hi, > > I am trying to implement log4j across the entire project, > there are about 1000 files in the project. > > What I have done is to have a utility class Log4j.java and > thru my startup program initialize all the default log4j > properties.
