thank you so much ! you were right !

this xml config creates a log file for info level messages generated from classes in the com.zz.pr.components package and also logs them to the console. All other logging messages are left in tact as before.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

</appender>

thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm trying to create a log4j log file with only output from the RallyLog class ( within the com.zzz.pr.components see below) and keep all the other portal logging the same.
Below is the only config that even works but turns off console debug level logging & I remember exceptions on the console (not good !) Any suggestions would be appreciated I have unsuccessfully tried a number of configurations including using filtering & a logger.
thanks
