In my session bean I use object of Parent class:
public class Parent{
protected static Logger log;
public Parent(String log4jCategory){
log =Logger.getLogger(log4jCategory);
}
....
}
public class ChildA extends Parent {
....
}
public class ChildB extends Parent {
....
}
public class MyBean implements javax.ejb.SessionBean {
private Parent obj;
....
public void initParentObject(String paramValue){
if (paramValue.equals("A"))
obj = new ChildA("CategoryA");
else
obj = new ChildB("CategoryB");
}
....
}
Is it possible to get log data to diferrent file depending on Child class realization.
Of course, it can be done in such way in log4j.xml:
<appender name="CHILD_A"
.....
</appender>
<appender name="CHILD_B"
.....
</appender>
<category name="mypack.ChildA">
<appender-ref ref="CHILD_A"/>
</category>
<category name="mypack.ChildB">
<appender-ref ref="CHILD_B"/>
</category>
But in reallife realization, there are a lot of classes in ChildA and ChildB
from different packs, which has their Loggers and they have to write to the same file. That's why I cannot use many different categories in log4j.xml putting only classpath like "mypack.ChildB"
As I see in wiki "Separating Application Logs", I can use CLFilter:
<filter class="org.jboss.logging.filter.TCLFilter>
<param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true">
<param name="DeployURL" value="app1.ear">
But here I have to put a EAR name// but in my examle - I want to have 2 different logs in same bean.
We use JBOSS 3.2.1
