Is it possible to specify not package based wildcard, but logger name based wildcard in log4j 1.x?
I want something like this:
<logger name="*Reporter" > <level value="INFO"/> <appender-ref ref="ReportFileAppender"/> </logger>

No (see section "Logger Hierarchy"). What you are trying to do is to define a set of loggers which is not possible as every logger has its own name.
The following should mimic what you are trying to achieve:
<logger name="Reporter" > <level value="INFO"/> <appender-ref ref="ReportFileAppender"/> </logger> In every *Reporter class:
public class MyReporter { private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("Reporter"); public MyReporter() { logger.debug("foo"); } } My gut feeling is that you really should use packages instead.
