Using Log 4 J statementin JUnit

[Thomas SMETS <ts...@altern.org>]

Hi,

I'm using Junit to functionnaly test my classes & composant behavior.
I'm willing in the TestCase s to have some logging statements via Log4J.

Classes have the typical structure : see @ the bottom.

The TestAll class simply adds in its TestSuite, all the tests from the 
classes in the package but the main of TestAll.java containts the 
following line :
<pre>
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     PropertyConfigurator.configure (PROPERTY_FILE_NAME);
     junit.swingui.TestRunner.run (TestAll.class);
   }
</pre>

Unfortunately the Tested classes cannot use the Appender  defined in the 
Property-file. Could someone give me a nice & elegant way to have the 
Log4J working with JUnit tests ?

Tx,

Thomas,
