All examples on how to split logging across two appenders seem to be 'by level', and the XML configuration only has one set of <category> definitions rather than one set per appender. I need to split logging by both class and level:
- Default log: Standard logging for the application, including log entries for 'MyClass' at INFO level and above. - MyClass log: Entries for MyClass only, at DEBUG level. It would be acceptable if it also contained MyClass higher logging levels. My need seems to be pretty standard. Is there a simple way to do this? The only solution I found (but not tried) seems too complicated to be right: - Setup the category for MyClass at DEBUG level. - Create a MyClass appender in log4j.xml. - Write a custom Filter that only accepts MyClass log entries of DEBUG level. Add the filter to the MyClass appender. - Write a custom Filter that accepts all log entries except MyClass DEBUG entries. Add the filter to the default appender. - Since I am using jBoss' logging facility, place these classes 'somewhere' that puts them in jBoss' classpath. Where would that be? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
