Configuring multiple file destinations in log4j properties

[Sachin Dimble]

Hi,
I have one Log4j.properties file for my web application.

log4j.rootCategory=debug, stdout, R, A

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=mypattern.CustPatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %d{HH:mm:ss} %T %c> %m%n

log4j.appender.A.File=all.log

Now i want, only some of my classes (

com.myapp.SpecialClass

) inside this application logs their messages in other file "special.log".

I searched it at many places including Apache resources but couldn't figure out how to do that.
Any help/link will be helpful.

Thanks.

Configure the class/package with both a log level and a list of appenders.

Thanks David for your reply, i tried following but it didn't worked -

       1. log4j.rootCategory=debug, R, S 
   2.  log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender 
   3.  log4j.appender.R.File=all.log  
        log4j.appender.S=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
        log4j.appender.S.File=special.log  
        log4j.logger.com.myapp.SpecialClass = info, S
  

It logs same (all) messages to both files. where as i want special.log should have only messages from

    SpecialClass.
