Question

redirecting log4j messages from a method to a different log file

Answer 1

A:

I don't think it can be that granular. Why not pull that method out to a separate class?

private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Main.class); private static Logger logger2 = Logger.getLogger("AUDITLOG"); /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO code application logic here logger.info("TESTS"); logger2.info("SDSDS"); System.out.println("ding dong");

@BoCode: So, is it working as expected? And please add this code and your configuration to your question. This might get more people to answer your question.

Answer 2

A:

Here's the config file I'm using. This will send some specific messages to a file and others to the console. This may help you a little bit hopefully. This is used in a standalone aplication.

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">
<!-- ============================== -->
<!-- Append SQL messages to a file. -->
<!-- ============================== -->
<appender name="SQL" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
    <param name="Threshold" value="TRACE" />
    <param name="File" value="sql-statement.log" />
    <param name="Append" value="true" />
    <param name="MaxFileSize" value="5000KB" />
    <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100" />
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%m%n" />
    </layout>
</appender>

<!-- ============================== -->
<!-- Append messages to the console -->
<!-- ============================== -->
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
    <param name="Target" value="System.out" />
    <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG" />
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%p] %m%n" />
    </layout>
</appender>

<!-- =============================== -->

    <priority value="TRACE" />
    <appender-ref ref="SQL" />
</category>

<!-- Setup the Root category -->
<root>
    <priority value="ERROR" />
</root>
