Naturally, but even if I set in the file: log4.loggerFactory=MyFactory
And in the code I have org.apache.log4j.Logger logger =
org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger("myLogger");
I don't get the logger that my factory created. I see in debug that the
factory is called but my client code still gets a native log4j Logger and
not my own custom logger.
>From what I saw in the code the reason is because log4j uses internally a
RepositorySelector that always returns the regular Logger. The LogManager
has a setter but log4j does not expose calling this setter via
configuration. This is really what I think is missing.
You can always call a code like this:
LogManager.setRepositorySelector(new RepositorySelector(){
public LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository() {
return myHierarchy;
}
}, null);
But when this is done via code and not using configuration this means every
new client needs to run this code. I am looking for a pure configurable
solution so each new client that wants to work with my Custom Logger just
needs to set the correct properties in log4j.properties.
I hope this thread is clear for every one...
Thanks.
