Log4j : specific class to log on FileAppender other classes log on Console Appender.

[Omar Barkawi]

Hello ,

Please help me in this issue , am trying to make log4j to log a specific class (exceptions, messages, etc..) on FileAppender , other classes should should append to the consoleAppender.

I've tried the following code :

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" >
<log4j:configuration>
	<appender name="Daily" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="file" value="c:/logs/LogFile.log" />
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" />
<param name="Threshold" value="WARN"/>

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

<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %l - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>

<appender name="CA" 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="%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p %l - %m%n" />
    </layout> 
  </appender> 

<logger name="com.companyName.logger.FileAppender">
	<level value="WARN"/>
	<appender-ref ref="Daily"/>
</logger>

<root>		
	<level value="DEBUG" />
	<appender-ref ref="Daily" />
	<appender-ref ref="CA" />
</root>



</log4j:configuration>

When I try to log on the file nothing happens on FileAppender , but the logs are viewed on the Console using ConsoleAppender.

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Omar,

I did not get this --

<logger name="com.companyName.logger.FileAppender">
<level value="WARN"/>
<appender-ref ref="Daily"/>
</logger>

What i understand value of "name" must be some package name for which
you need this specific logs in "LogFile.log".


Thanks,
Tanzy.
