Hello Dan, You are going to have to Buy Ceki Gülcü's book and look at the section about Repository Selectors. Since log4j's configuration is static, the first app that configures log4j will have configured it for all contexts which is almost certainly not what you want. You want your config file to be specific for your app. That is where Repository Selectors come in. I haven't read much about them, so I can't go into detail, but Ceki's book should answer just about any question you may have on Log4j.
Actually, I spoke too quickly. Look at this excerp from the book.... http://qos.ch/containers/sc.html See about the book here: http://qos.ch/log4jBook.html Jake Wednesday, October 02, 2002, 11:22:31 AM, you wrote: DL> Is there a way to control this?
