JBoss Logging

[div_gcet]

Hi

Here i m working on JBoss 4.2.2 and eclipse Gynemade. I m instantiating
a java file at the time when jboss configure log4j.xml. I had given its entry
in log4j.xml. Now my problem is that file have to access the database which
are bound to perticuler JNDI names. And JNDI service starts after the log4j
configure. So a null pointer exception is coming at the time server configure
log4j, due to that java file. Can Anyone help me here. I m sending the change in log4j.xml that exception detail

<appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="false"/>

 <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

 <!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
 -->

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

Since the app server first configures logging and at a later point of time does the jndi bindings, i don't think you will be able to lookup the object from JNDI when the log4j is being initialized.

I guess, you could try packaging your own log4j.xml inside you application and then use your custom class in that xml file. This way, by the time your log4j.xml is loaded (when you application is deployed and accessed) the JNDI bindings will be done. You might want to see this post to understand how you can package the log4j.xml in your app http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=128979#4125416

Actually my problem is i have to filter the logs into different log files according
to the different JNDI names(databases).Means different log message of different database(JNDI) logs to different files .Can i do it without making any log4j.xml file ,by making any change to binding.
