In addition to the root logger, you can configure individual loggers with their own appenders. Assuming you are calling your loggers ClassA and ClassB you can do:

<root>
     <appender-ref ref="CommonAppender" />
</root>
<logger name="ClassA">
     <appender-ref ref="AppenderA" />
</logger>
<logger name="ClassB">
     <appender-ref ref="AppenderB" />
</logger>

This is further described here.

Can we achieve this programmatically? Since I will be taking the name of the log file from user for each class. Can I set FileAppender and its attributes through code? – dhiraj suvarna Dec 22 '17 at 05:01
@dhirajsuvarna - indeed. Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/1776025/35245 – Peter Lillevold Dec 22 '17 at 14:12
