Subject:How to change behavior of FileAppenderActions...

Hello,

When I configure log4j (ver 1.2.8) to use FileAppender and if I forget to specify the filename in the configuration file, then log4j treats the null filename as a warning and shows the message "Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender?"

Is it possible to change the above behavior to throw an error (via the errorHandler) instead of a warning? This is similar to the way log4j acts if it encounters errors in opening the file (specified by the FileAppender property).

This way if I configure log4j to use file appenders then it will ensure that I also specify the file name correctly.

Thanks Rajkumar
