My application has a homebrew logging class that I'm migrating to using log4j under the covers. However, since I'm using the homebrew class to pass the rest of the application's logging statements to log4j, the output statements are logged as coming from the wrapper class instead of the source class.
Is there a way to ensure that the "correct" source is being shown besides creating new org.apache.log4j.Logger instances for every log statement? I've also tried using the Logger.log(String callerFQCN, Priority level, Object message, Throwable t) method, but it doesnt seem to be working, for example:
public class Logger2 {
public static org.apache.log4j.Logger log4JLogger = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger2.class);
public static void warning(Object source, String message) {
log(source, message, Level.WARN, null)
}
private static void log(Object source, String message, Level level, Throwable t) {
String className = source.getClass().getName();
System.out.println("Logging class should be " + className);
log4JLogger.log(className, loggingLevel, message, t);
}
}
When called by:
public void testWarning() {
Logger2.warning(new Integer(3), "This should warn");
}
Prints:
Logging class should be java.lang.Integer
