True, I think I should've explained my situation more... We are using commons Façade for logging. So, my ability to interact direct log4j is pretty limited.
I'm trying to find a good example of a log4j.xml explain me how to-do this.

Have you built a hello world program yet? The constructors will show you how to control logging granularity. I am new as well. Here's a program I wrote. Pay attention to all the object that are necesasry to instanciate the logger. Play with their settings to achieve your desired output control. I hope that helps. MPC public class TestLogger { static Logger myLogger = Logger.getLogger("TestLogger"); public static void main(String[] args) { File myFile = null; FileOutputStream myFileOS = null; PatternLayout myLayout = null; WriterAppender myAppender = null; System.out.println("Writing to file..."); try { myFile = new File("foo.out"); myFileOS = new FileOutputStream (myFile); }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.toString()); } myLayout = new PatternLayout("%m%n"); myAppender = new WriterAppender(myLayout, myFileOS); myLogger.addAppender(myAppender); myLogger.setLevel(Level.DEBUG); myLogger.debug("Hello World with a patternLayout"); } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
