Re: Use category to limit by package name possible?

[Paul Smith]

My advice: Don't split your logs into a Debug and Info log files. Not that log4j can't do that (see more below) but seriously consider that both the debug and info logs are even more useful when you have the context of them together. So my advice is to have one file appender, attached to all loggers you wish to capture logs from, and set your loggers to DEBUG. this will give you both Debug and Info (and other levels) in the one file making understanding what is going on much simpler, since you can see them in sequence.

cheers,

Paul

However... if you must... and you really want to.. Then create 2 file appenders, and set the _Appenders_ to have a Filter that only accepts the Level you are interested in (you might need to write a simple filter class for this), Debug or Info (for which ever file you wanted), then set your loggers to the lowest threshold you want to capture (debug) and attach BOTH appenders to all the loggers. This way a logger emits a DEBUG log event, which goes to both appenders, but each appender decides whether to append it to the file, because of the Filter.

(note priority is no longer an acceptable tag - changed to level)

    <!-- myfaces-impl -->
    <logger

with info and above on the same package.  It appears to me that the

<logger> tag so log4j is complaining.

    <!-- presence-tech (debug) -->
    <logger
            name="com.presence"
            additivity="false">
        <level value="debug"/>
        <appender-ref ref="PT.DEBUG.LOG"/>
    </logger>

    <logger

            additivity="false">
        <level value="info"/>
        <appender-ref ref="PT.INFO.LOG"/>
    </logger>

How do I create two loggers that limit to com.presence (one logger for
debug and one for info)?

Log4J startup gives the following error message:

levels (debug,info)?

Thanks! but I still have a few problems. #3 <root> node was not required. The appender stayed the same. the category (changed to logger) now looks like this: But now I want a debug log file with debug messages and above and an info file name="<package>" is the limiting param but also functions as an id for the log4j:WARN Attribute value "com.presence" of type ID must be unique within So how do you have two loggers that limit to the same package but different
