FQCN Category.log() question

[Scot Hale <ha...@hotmail.com>]

I currently converted the logging in my webapplication to use log4j 1.1.3 via a wrapper class.  So everything in the application, various packages, log via the function call in one class:

    Category.getRoot().log(String callerFQCN, Priority priority, Object message, Throwable t) 

I am running into a problem setting logging priorities for different categories, because everything is seen as coming from the category class root, instead of the passed Fully Qualified Class Name.

My properties are set up as:

log4j.rootCategory=FATAL,sizeAppender

log4j.category.a.subclass=DEBUG
log4j.additivity.a.subclass=false

Is there anyway to make a category priority under the rootCategory log, using the Category method log(String callerFQCN, Priority priority, Object message, Throwable t)?

I think what you want to do is this:

Category.getInstance(callerFQCN).log(priority, message, t);

The problem with your approach is you're always working with the root
category, which isn't what you want.
