I love log4j. We find it invaluable and have purchased the manual to support the project.
Does log4j have the ability to suppress duplicates? Not the duplication caused by root loggers and descendants. I know that is alleviated by with the additivity setting. For example, when a connection is being reset, a loop that uses that connection will repeatedly log the message, "connection not available". I'd like to have that message appear only once in the log. The loop could be rewritten to exit and restart once the connection is available, but that creates a number of new problems.
