log4j - optional parameter

[lavsara <sv...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
I need to add an optional parameter say "Encryption=true" to the
consoleappender in log4j.properties file
and in the Business class I need to check something like

if  (encryption) 
{
logger.debug(encrypt(message)); //encrypt() has the encryption logic.
}

I guess I have to extend consoleappender and have a getter/setter for
encryption property.
Is this a good approach? Or is there any other optimal way of acheiving
this?

Thanks,
lavsara

The feedback usually given is to use a different Logger named 'encryption'
and manage its logging threshold in the configuration file, so you can
control encryption logging separately from the other logger you are using
in this class.
