Hi Ceki,

thanks of a lot for your answer.

I had tried to do just that with log4j, and only half of it had worked -- as i said, I think there was a problem with the writeFooter method. I take it this problem doesn't occur in logback.

I hadn't had time to look into filters yet, I'll be sure to check them out! :-)

Yup, that's definitely what I want to do. My question was more about which of the newer alternatives might be better for me, but it looks like logback will definitely be appropriate, so I'll start with that. 

again thx a lot! 


David
