Enhancment to %c conversionpattern ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen <ma...@eos.dk>]

Hello log4j-user,

I know that with a category name "a.b.c" the pattern %c{2} will output
"b.c". (e.g. output the last 2 levels of the categories)

This is all great but is there a way to state that i want everything
below a certain category level ?

e.g. I got many categories and they all start with something similar
to:

com.vendor.application

so I got

com.vendor.application.X.Y.Z
com.vendor.application.X.Y
com.vendor.application.X.B.C
com.vendor.application.X.Y.G

in my logs - instead I would like it to contain:

X.Y.Z
X.Y
X.B.C
X.Y.G

Without changing the categories names!

Is that possible ? e.g. a %c{>3} meaning the rest of the category name
after 3 levels ?

One should ofcourse still see categories that has less than 3 levels,
but that is a implementation issue :)
