[log4perl-devel] logging in home grown module packages

[David Z. <wzh...@gm...>]

Hi there,

Got another question: I'd like to enable logging within our home grown module 
packages, such as: Mycompany:Modules:A, Mycompany:Modules:B, etc, without 
setting a logger in the configuration file for every module.

What's the best way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

David

If you define a logger like

     log4perl.category.Mycompany.Modules = ...

then it'll cover both Mycompany:Modules:A and Mycompany:Modules:B
because of logger inheritance:
