changing log file of log4j for an individual package within a webapp running on Tomcat

[vishal.changrani]

Hi All,
I am running a WebApp (JSP/Servlet/Struts) on Tomcat 4.0.6
I am having a ServletContextListener which spawns a thread which runs
indifinetly.
Is there a way I can make this thread (the source code of which comes
from a seperate package) log to a different log file than the
remaining WebApp? The Webapp is NOT using log4j but is using Commons-
logging (since I dont see log4j.jar file in the lib folder but a
logger element in the Server.xml). I do intend to use log4j though.
If I do however put a log4j.properties file in my web-inf/classes
folder and the log4j in the web-ing/lib folder...all the logging of
the webapp gets written to the file i specify in the log4j.properties
file. I however only want all the classes only in that particular
package to write to that log file.

Any help will be much apreciated
Thanks in advance,
Vishal

You can specify appenders per category. Just specify an appender
logging to a different file for the category used in that particular
code.
