Can I set the logging level within a Java method using log4j?

How do I change the logging level in Java?

Java Util Logging - Log Levels To change a log level we must use Logger#setLevel() and Handler#setLevel() .

You can change the level configuration for that class but not for specific methods in a class. The only way to do what you want would be to use a different logger inside that method and then configure it at a different level.

Hope this helps.
