log4j.xml - 2k

This is what I have and it seems to work.

The config file.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration debug = "false" xmlns:log4j = 'http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>

<!-- Define the debug log async appender --> <appender name = "debug.async" class = "org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender"> <param name = "BufferSize" value = "10240"/> <param name = "LocationInfo" value = "true"/> <appender-ref ref = "debug.file"/> </appender>

<!-- Define the debug log worker appender --> <appender name = "debug.file" class = "org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <param name = "Append" value = "true"/> <param name = "File" value = "debug.log"/> <layout class = "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name = "ConversionPattern" value = "[%-d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS}][%l - %t] %m%n"/> </layout> </appender>

<!-- ********************************************************************** -->

<!-- ********************************************************************** -->

<!-- Define the debug log logger --> <logger name = "debug" additivity = "false"> <appender-ref ref = "debug.async"/> </logger>

<!-- Define the error log logger --> <logger name = "error" additivity = "false"> <appender-ref ref = "error.async"/> </logger>

<!-- ********************************************************************** -->

<root> <level value = "debug"/> <!-- appender-ref ref = "debug.async"/ --> </root> </log4j:configuration>

And the code snipet:

DOMConfigurator.configure(args[0]) ; Logger.getLogger("error") ; Logger.getLogger("debug") ;

I have include the two file for full reference ....

Hi

I wish to have output from classes to go into a log file and some other classes (from the same packages) into another log file. I have the following log4j.properties configuration but it doesn't work.

From the config, there are 4 fours that I wish to go into 'searchfile'

and all the other classes to log to 'file'.

What this produces is both files (searchfile and file) are created and contains exactly the same logs. All logs (including those from the 4 classes) goes into both the files.

This is what I have in my Java files.

static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(CatCrawler.class); PropertyConfigurator.configure(path_to_log4j.properties_file);
