Write my own log

[charlscross]

Hello!
I need to make a log file that only contains my beans logging messages.
Is this possible?
Anyone knows how to do it?

Is there anything specific that you want on your log or your log behaviour? What makes it different from the regular log?

[charlscross]

Well, I want a log file where the only things that can be written are my log annotations, not jboss debug log, not the query's, etc...

assuming you are using log4j or java.commons.logging, all you need to do is writing your own (file-)appender. appenders are individually configurable and can log what you want exactly where you want...

see here for some more sophisticated documentation, or use google for other sources.

cheers,

Thank you everyone! I'll try tonight!
But how can I tell the logger just to write my beans messages??

[asiandub]

configure your appender on a per-package or even per-class base. tell it just to log output from your bean classes.

Thanks Jan!
