But without modifying the application :-)) Right now I have a ton of places where, for this logger, I have something like: AdminLogger.fatal("Wager Core", ex); So I should add another logger statement in each place further clogging the application. Looking at the PatternLayout class I discovered that it already does something very similar. I can specify through a conversion pattern a maximum number of chars: %-20.50m But... It truncates the logging message at the beginning :-((( A friend of mine who has the complete book told me that this is what the author wanted to do.
