I want to be able to have different appenders with different priority levels

e.x.

<category name="my.package" additivity="false">  
    <priority value="fatal" />  
    <appender-ref ref="consoleAppender" />
    <appender-ref ref="fileAppender" />
</category>

I thought something like this would work, but it doesn't

<category name="my.package" additivity="false">  
    <priority value="fatal" ref="consoleAppender" /> 
    <priority value="info" ref="fileAppender"/> 
    <appender-ref ref="consoleAppender" />
    <appender-ref ref="fileAppender" />
</category>

  • @MilanBaran almost but I want it for only the my.package so need to use category tag. unless anyone else knows a better way in xml file – MWright Aug 16 '13 at 15:10
  • @MWright I'm having the very same problem at the moment and after trying some things it starts to look like logging a particular package/class to different appenders with different log levels is something that can't be done... I'd appreciate if somebody could confirm this (did you find any solution yet? – zagrimsan Nov 26 '13 at 08:36

I have had some personal success with this by creating a separate category for each appender.

Something like: 

<category name="my.package">  
<priority value="INFO"/> 
<appender-ref ref="Appender1" />
</category>  

<category name="my.package">  
<priority value="WARN"/> 
<appender-ref ref="Appender2" />
</category>

  • This doesnt work, if you write multiple categories with the same name they will be overwritten. – Charles Jun 17 '14 at 13:11
