[Log4cpp-devel] Appender additivity

[Aaron I. <ai...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I have an ancestor Category, A, that has certain Appenders that I'd
like its heir, B, to inherit.  This is easily done by letting B's
additivity default to true.  However, what if I don't want one of A's
appenders, X, to be inherited?  I could set B's additivity to false and
then add the remaining appenders to B, but I'd have to do that for all
such heirs.  Since that would obviously be a maintenance headache, I'd
like to find a better solution.

I'm considering creating a Filter, PrivateFilter, that effectively
allows me to mark an appender as private, i.e. heirs will not inherit
the appender even if they are additive.

I'm also considering not attaching X to A, but instead creating a child
A' that attaches X.  I'd then log using A' in place of A.

Does anyone have an alternative solution or comments to the above?

Thanks in advance.

-Aaron
