configuring a user-defined Logger with an xml file

[Raif Naffah <Ra...@forge.com.au>]

hi there,

i'm using log4j 1.2b4 and 1.2rc1 on a Win2K platform and trying to
configure a logging environment using a subclass of
org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.

Logger replaces Category, yet in the DTD, the attribute list of Logger does
not mandate the designation of a "class" as Category used to (and still
does).

is this an oversight or there is now a way of specifying user-defined
Loggers in an xml config file?


TIA + cheers;
rsn

Hi raif,

It is intentional. Since subclassing is the source of considerable problems,
it's used is reserved for main applications such as EJB containers or
Servlet containers. One can specify a subclass by setting a new
logger repository. Setting subclasses per logger is now strongly discouraged.
