Logging question: how to do 'local' and 'global' logging tog

[marcus.klein]

Hi,

I have a question regarding logging with log4j. I used the example repositoryselector.zip (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Logging) from the Wiki Knowledge Base to enable logging on a per-webapp basis, i.e. now I can use a log4j.xml file for each deployment I have. This works fine so far. The problem I have now is that all logging messages are written to the appenders I specified in those 'local' log4j.xml file. How would I be able to specify that only some logging messages are written to the 'local' logging-file while others are still written, say, to the server.log?

To make it a bit more precise, say, I have two classes A and B deployed as mydeployment application. Within the log4j.xml file below mydeployment I would like to specify that logging msgs from class A are written to a 'local' log-file (say classA.log), while logging messages from class B are written to the server.log. The example in repositoryselector.zip shows me only how to log either all msgs to server.log or to the 'local' specified log-file. Please note that the logging messages should appear only once, i.e. either in the server.log file xor in the 'local' log-file.

Thank you very much for your help.

You might be able to get the JBoss logger and use that for global logging.

Hi,

thank you for the hint, and sorry for the late answer (I was on vacation), but isn't there a way to get a handle to the 'global' logger in the log4j.xml configuration file, so that I am able to specify that some mesages are logged to my 'local' logfile while others are still logged to the 'global' logfile.

In case I misunderstand something please go into more detail.

Your help would be appreciated.
