Hi!

I have already made a log4j configuration, and added the set the log4j in debug mode here is the output from the console when I run the application.
run: log4j: Trying to find [log4j.xml] using context classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@a39137. log4j: Trying to find [log4j.xml] using sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@a39137 class loader. log4j: Trying to find [log4j.xml] using ClassLoader.getSystemResource(). log4j: Trying to find [log4j.properties] using context classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@a39137. log4j: Using URL [file:/C:/PM/ScalaPMActual/conf/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j configuration. log4j: Reading configuration from URL file:/C:/Ansaldo/ScalaPMActual/conf/log4j.properties log4j: Could not find root logger information. Is this OK? log4j: Parsing for [org.springframework] with value=[DEBUG, appender]. log4j: Level token is [DEBUG]. log4j: Category org.springframework set to DEBUG log4j: Parsing appender named "appender". log4j: Parsing layout options for "appender". log4j: Setting property [conversionPattern] to [%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss, SSS} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n]. log4j: End of parsing for "appender". log4j: Parsed "appender" options. log4j:WARN File option not set for appender [appender]. log4j:WARN Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender? log4j: Handling log4j.additivity.org.springframework=[null] log4j: Finished configuring. log4j: setFile called: C:\PM\ScalaPMActual\log\lo.html, true log4j: setFile ended log4j: setFile called: C:\P6API/PM\my_PM.html, true log4j: setFile ended BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 5 seconds)
lo.html is "my log file" and my_PM.html is "API log file" which I don't mind if it's created or not but it's steeling my log entries.
The problem is that the API I'm forced to use is creating a new log4j appender and all logs are after that handled by that appender.
The API don't have a log4j.properties or log4j.XML files. I guess it's compiled into the code.

I have realized that the new Appender from the API is called A, then I tried to remove that appender
logger.removeAppender("A"); //Removing API appender logger.addAppender(appender); //Readding Standard appender

But it stills uses the A appender. I can't access the A appender from the API it's automatically used by the API.

Any good suggestions?

Hi!
I hope the post is in the correct forum area.

I have a quite annoying problem, I have written an integration between two systems and after all I realize that log4j would be really good for logging.
And I just switched out my regular logger and appended log4j, but there is a problem with the API that I'm using, it has a log4j appender in the precompiled source. Is there a way to just remove that logger? I tried to remove is but with no luck, it still log in the wrong file with the wrong settings when the API has been used.

Any good ideas of how I can disable the API log4j appender?

Best Regards
Markus
