logging from commons.httpclient interferes with application logging

["i314523@addcom.de" <i3...@addcom.de>]

Hi all,
I'm using Jakarta Commons HttpClient for simulating test requests to
my web application. There I have configured log4j for logging at debug
level. But now the output from HttpClient wastes my logfile. How can I
configure log4j so that the output from a different package is logged
to an other file? I'm using XML configuration. Here is my log4j.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

    <appender name="appender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
      <param name="File" value="myApp-debug.log"/>
      <param name="Append" value="true"/>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} [%X
{SessID}] %m%n"/>
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <appender name="errappender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"
>
      <param name="File" value="error.log"/>
      <param name="Append" value="true"/>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} [%X
{SessID}] %m%n"/>
      </layout>
        <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
            <param name="LevelMin" value="error" />
            <param name="LevelMax" value="fatal" />
        </filter>
    </appender>
<appender name="testappender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="File" value="test.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p [%t] %c - %m: %d{DATE}%n"
/>
      </layout>
    </appender>

 <logger name="org.apache.commons.httpclient"  additivity="false">
 <level value="error"/>
<appender-ref ref="lasttestappender"/>
 </logger>

   <root>
      <priority value="debug"/>
      <appender-ref ref="appender"/>
      <appender-ref ref="errappender"/>
    </root>
</log4j:configuration>

Thanks in advance,
Ralf H.

Hello Ralf,

Please send log4j configuration questions to the log4j user list:
http://logging.apache.org/site/mailing-lists.html

I think the general idea is to define an extra appender
which logs into a different file. But I'm not a log4j expert,
and I surely don't know the log4j XML configuration format.

cheers,
  Roland
