So, because you use Spring setter injection, you think you can't name your loggers in a custom way? Why not use a combination of constructor and setter injection? I'm not sure why you'd need a repository selector in this case anyway? What would be the selection criteria? Are you thinking thread? While that is possible, it seems both heavyweight and unnecesary.

It doesn't take multiple logger repositories to get differently named logger output into separate files. In Spring, just use...

<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="InstanceNameQualifierValue"/>
OR
        <constructor-arg index="0" value="InstanceNameQualifierValue"/>
OR (if it's the only constructor argument)
        <constructor-arg value="InstanceNameQualifierValue"/>

Now, you mentioned MDC, and that's a separate, and seemingly unrelated, issue. What problems are you having with MDC?

If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Hi Jake,

Thanks for your response.

I did some reading from my copy of "The complete log4j manual". Chapter 8 has a solution to this problem: create a RepositorySelector. But, for me this is only a partial solution. This is because I'm using the Spring Framework's IOC container to manage my application (which is a Java job scheduler that uses Quartz). This means that, when I first start my application, the IOC container creates most of the instances of my classes (including my Quartz jobs), and uses setter injection to create the state for my classes. I don't know how to get my loggers, and associate them with the current thread using the MDC, when they have already been created by the Spring IOC container. Do you know how?

You can use per-instance loggers and name you loggers as...

private Logger logger;

JdbcFacade(String instanceNameQualifier) {
  this.logger = this.getClass().getName() + istanceNameQualifier;
}

instanceNameQualifier might be "A" or "B" or whether else you want it to be.

Hello.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm running scheduled jobs, and they create their own instances of my JDBC class. For example, JobA creates a new JdbcFacadeA, and JobB creates its own JdbcFacadeB. I would like to log each job in its own log (easy). But, I want the output from JdbcFacadeA to go to the log for JobA, and I want the output from JdbcFacadeB to go to JobB's log. I'm using the log4j convention for naming loggers, which uses the fully qualified class name.

How can I do this?
