Two suggestions:
1. Use Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName());
Thanks for that piece of information, never even thought of using that.
2. Don't use code to configure but use an XML config file. The
configuration should only happen once so that is why you keep getting
more log writers.
I have been trying to accomplish this one, but have been having a heck of a
time getting the log4j.properties file picked up. I would be more than
happy to use a .xml version but I haven't had much luck finding a sample one
with writing to a file. I am also a little confused as to how the logger is
supposed to find the config file. Am I missing a simple faq or how-to that
describes this ? Thanks again for the quick and concise answers.
