Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.apache.log4j.LoggerRepositoryExImpl.addHierarchyEventListener(HierarchyEventListener) Superceded by addLoggerEventListener
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingPolicyBase.getActiveFileName() Duplicates FileAppender.file and should be removed
org.apache.log4j.LoggerRepositoryExImpl.getCurrentCategories() Please use LoggerRepositoryExImpl.getCurrentLoggers() instead.
org.apache.log4j.receivers.net.SocketReceiver.getListener() This receiver now supports multiple listeners
org.apache.log4j.filter.DenyAllFilter.getOptionStrings() We now use JavaBeans introspection to configure components. Options strings are no longer needed.
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingPolicyBase.setActiveFileName(String) Duplicates FileAppender.file and should be removed
org.apache.log4j.receivers.net.SocketReceiver.setListener(SocketNodeEventListener) This receiver now supports multiple listeners and so this method simply removes the listener (if there already) and readds it to the list. The passed listener will also be returned via the getListener() method still, but this is also deprecated
org.apache.log4j.receivers.net.SocketNode13.setListener(SocketNodeEventListener) Now supports mutliple listeners, this method simply invokes the removeSocketNodeEventListener() to remove the listener, and then readds it.
org.apache.log4j.filter.DenyAllFilter.setOption(String, String) Use the setter method for the option directly instead of the generic setOption method.
