Hi PP, I would recommend the Sifting Appender. Use a marker or other property to discriminate which log file the log messages are directed towards. Brett On 12/09/2012, at 1:14 AM, "PixelPusher" <pixelpusher@cox.net> wrote:

I've been browsing through the documentation, but haven't found a solution for this problem. I have a java web app that takes some input from the currently logged in user and uses it to spawn off a thread to do some work. I need to have that thread generate its own log file with a name that is based on data that the user provided. Is there anything in logback that will help me do this?

A second issue will be giving the user permission to view the file, but I'll deal with that after I get the file generation working.
