[log4perl-devel] Same layout for multiple appenders

[Alex M. <ale...@cl...>]

Hello,

At first, I would like to congratulate log4perl developpers for their
great works. It's really usefull for me.

Then I have a question about the configuration file syntax.

I've seen that it's possible, using the perlish configuration style to
define a layout and to assign it to multiple appenders. But I don't find
how to do the same with the configuration files syntax.

Any help appreciated.

Good question -- it has been brought up in the log4j community:

     http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/8711/2001/3/0/5390252/

The suggested workaround is to use configuration file "basic 
substitution" (variable substitution), which is currently not available 
in Log4perl. But now that I see a need for it, I'll put it right on the 
TODO-List :).

For now, a hack to get what you want is to read in the configuration 
file into a Perl string, manipulate it (variable substitution etc.) and 
then feed it to init( \$string ). Again, it's a hack.

Great :)

my $life = <<"";
That's ok for me, as I'm already loading my configuration this way because the
path of my log files is in variables.

Thanks for your answer.
