Hi, This is probably a trivial question. * How do I spread logging to separate files on a per Category basis. For example, I want all logging to 'root' to go to 'main.log', and all logging to Category 'jtapi' to go to 'jtapi.log'. I always thought a could do it like this: # Set root category priority to DEBUG and its only appender to 'main'. log4j.rootCategory=debug, main # Main log properties log4j.appender.main=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.main.File=C:\\Projects\\Work\\Dist\\MbxTest\\log\\main.log log4j.appender.main.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.main.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss} [%-5p] [%c] [%t] [%C{1}.%M():%L] - "%m"%n # Jtapi log properties log4j.appender.jtapi=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.jtapi.File=C:\\Projects\\Work\\Dist\\MbxTest\\log\\jtapi.log log4j.appender.jtapi.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.jtapi.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss} [%t] - "%m"%n ...and set the additivity flag in "jtapi" to false. But no. Does not work. What do I do wrong? -- Thomas ************************************************************************* Copyright ERA Technology Ltd. 2001. (www.era.co.uk).
