Multiple log files depending on java class

[M Murthy]

Hi all,

How do i make a set of java classes in an application write to one log file while all other java classes write to another log file in the same web application. I am using Tomcat 5.0 server.

Never mind, I found the answer.
For those of you who are still trying to figure this out, below is the solution.

Suppose you want the class com.foo.xyz to write to a log file (logFile1.log) and all other classes in the application to another log file(logFile2.log), then in your log4j.properties files define

log4j.logger.com.foo.xyz=INFO, R1

where R1 is a file appender pointing to say logFile1.log, also define

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R2

Where R2 is another file appender pointing to say logFile2.log
