Hello Hein, I am doing a similar thing that you are looking for. That is, I am using multiple files to create a single configuration for log4j. The way I do this is to
1. create a set of Properties 2. use the PropertiesConfigurator to initialize log4j. To do step 1, I am using Jakarta's Commons Configuration. That allows me to get a single "Configuration" out of many files. This module allows you to load from many types of sources: JDBC, Xml, .properties file, etc. You will most likely need to use a CompositeConfiguration to decide in runtime that you need the extra xml file. Hope that helps, moran ben-david www.place-base.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Hein Meling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 7:25 AM > To: Log4J Users List > Subject: Inheriting configuration > > Hi > > Is it possible to inherit (import) configuration from one log4j-main.xml > to another? > > Say for example, you want to define a common set of appenders, and also > some common loggers, but for some subproject you want to define specific > loggers only for that subproject's log4j-subproj.xml file. > > If a particular logger is define in both log4j-*.xml files, I assume the > subproject version would override the loggers in log4j-main.xml. > > Is this possible?
