class attributes

[Michiel Meeuwissen <Mi...@omroep.nl>]

I'm not sure I'm understanding them. 

I'm using a  subclass of 'Category'. For this to work I think I have to
put things in my configuration file like:

<category name="A.B" class="org.apache.log4j.examples.MyCategory" >

and also

<category name="A" class="org.apache.log4j.examples.MyCategory" > 

etc.

But I'm willing to use always 'MyCategory', in the whole project (this
is only an example). Can't I set a default somehow? Why is this
property not inherited from A to A.B (or am I mistaken?), or even from
<root>?


greetings, 

 Michiel

Michiel,

I am afraid there is nothing to understand. The class attribute of a 
category element is not inherited. It has to be specified each time. This 
is an inconsistency in DOMConfigurator especially since the 
PropertyConfigurator supports an option called categoryFactory. I'll add 
this to my todo list. Ceki

ps: Have you considered using an XML entity to replace the repetitive 
class="org.apache.log4j.examples.MyCategory" declarations?
