For an example, see the ContextJNDISelector in Log4j-1.3 (in CVS)... http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/logging-log4j/src/java/org/apache/log4j/selector/ContextJNDISelector.java You can also read Ceki's writings on the topic... http://www.qos.ch/logging/sc.jsp I would just keep in mind that this is going to be awfully non-standard and this really should all be controlled from a single config file. When requirements like this come down the pipe, it is usually because the requester of the "feature" doesn't really understand what they are asking for and doesn't realize that it would be done more properly another way. That's when I step in and try to explain how a more standard solution would get them exactly what they want without going through the hoops involved in their uninformed proposed solution.

The problem is thinking that configuration is happening per/library. It actually happens per logger repository which, by default, is essentially per visible classloader hierarchy. If a repository selector is used, the configuration happens per whatever criteria the selector uses as a demarcation of logger repositories. This can add complexity which is necessary at times, but probably not here.Because of this, one should not distribute config files in jars. Logging is for the end user, not the creator of the library. Remove the config files from the libraries and use a single config file per/application. At this point, it is easy to send the output of the two libraries (with distinct package names) to separate log files...
