Disabling logging from a Configuration File

Hi...
	I'm running with configureAndWatch(,,,) reading a configuration file
for logging changes and control.

	Is there a way to totally DISABLE all logging .... ( like calling
disableAll() ) ... by means of a setting in my configuration file?


Thanks, Stephen

Aha! The ProppertyConfigurator.doConfigure method takes a hierarchy as
a second argument. Just look at the code or the SocketServer example. Regards, Ceki

nuclear blackmail in the region and perhaps beyond.

Re: Storing hierarchies in log4j.properties

Ceki,

In my code, i create two Hierarchy objects:
e.g.
        Hierarchy h1 = new Hierarchy( Category.getInstance("ONE") );
        Hierarchy h2 = new Hierarchy( Category.getInstance("TWO") );
I do this so I can separate categories.
This helps in disabling logging for a certain hierarchy, thus treating
categories in different hierarchys separately.

This is NOT chained category hierarchy
 e.g.
   log4j.category.one=INFO
   log4j.category.one.child=INFO



I would like to load up these Hierarchy objects from a property file, and
associate it to a category , that acts as its root.
e.g.
    log4j.hierarchy.h1 = ONE
    log4j.hierarchy.h2 = TWO

   log4j.category.ONE=INFO
   log4j.category.TWO=INFO



Is this possible?

T Master.

I am afraid I do not understand the question. What do you mean by storing hierarchies? 
Have you read the log4j manual or looked at the examples under
src/org/apache/log4j/examples?

Ceki ,

Is it possible to store hierarchys in a log4j.properties file?
If so, how?

There is no example on the subject.

Please, try 

  log4j.disable=FATAL

this will become 

  log4j.enable=OFF

in log4j version 1.2.

Hope this helps, Ceki

As far as i know, it must be done through Hierarchy.disableAll()  and
Hierarchy.disableAll(Priority)
Hierarchy.enableAll() can be called afterwards when required.
