Hi all The appender tag of xml configuration allows formally to be like that:
<appender name="STANDARD_APPENDERS" class=""> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE.ERR"/> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE.OUT"/> <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> </appender> According to DTD: <!ELEMENT appender (errorHandler?, param*, layout?, filter*, appender-ref*)> <!ATTLIST appender name ID #REQUIRED class CDATA #REQUIRED > But: how to use this feature? I would like to use one ref to this STANDARD_APPENDERS in my logger definitions, since I have a lot of finetuned logger definitions. But my development environment (eclipse) likes the Console-Appender, whereas the server does not like it. If I can use such a sampler appender I would have to change the included appenders only at one location. Problem is: the class-Attribute of appender element is mandatory. But what to write therein? Left blank (like shown above) leads to a ClassNotFountException. Omitting the attribute says log4j:WARN Attribute "class" is required and must be specified for element type "appender". Followed by a ClassNotFountException again. The log4j manual has no hints about this feature. Any ideas?
