log4j writing to multiple logs conditionally

[Arvind]

Hi,

Is there a way log4j could be configured to write to different files
conditionally? Let me try to explain what I need more clearly.

The application iam working on , consists of multiple Message Driven
Beans (the same can be substituted by multiple SessionBeans), each
driving a separate application. Each of these receive requests which
are ofcourse different from each other. Currently all the logs go into
a single file. I would like to know if we could configure log4j to
write it to separate files based on which Bean receives the
message/request.

Please let me know if I have been vague, and wld like me to explain it
in more detail.

Thanks
Arvind.

Dunno about log4j but with java.util.logging you can have a mulitude of
loggers that all have their own output channel. I assume similar things
can be done with log4j.

So the way would be to have each bean use its own logger that writes to a
different output.

Hi Arvind

http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html is what you need to
read. It will help you solve the probelm you have described below very
easily.
