Hi Dirk/All,

I have similar type of requirement. I have some xml string like...
<payload>
<acctNumber>1000101010</acctNumber>
<productCode>123234</productCode>
< ..... > //More fields
...
...
< ..... >
</payload>

I would like to Display this xml as 

<payload>
<acctNumber>******1010</acctNumber>
<productCode>******</productCode>
< ..... > //More fields
...
...
< ..... >
</payload>

I don't have xsd schema for payload. This is dynamic ("Any" type). All I have 
is the field names which need to be masked (e.g. acctNumber,productCode ).
Please help me with some code fragment. I am new to log4j.

Thanks
Satyendra
