First I'd make this minor change to your log4j config - to avoid double
logging:
<logger name="test.first.Another.main">
<!-- I'm not sure about TRACE support, maybe you should try DEBUG or ALL
-->
<level value="TRACE"/>
</logger>
<root>
<priority value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</root>
Here's how your class should be setup:
package test.first;
//imports
public class Another {
//alternatively you could use Logger.getLogger("test.first.Another");
private static final Logger classLogger = Logger.getLogger(Another.class);
//I'm assuming you're main method is this
public static void main(String args[]) {
final Logger methodLogger = Logger.getLogger("test.first.Another.main");
methodLogger.info("error message from main");
}
public void test() {
final Logger methodLogger = Logger.getLogger("test.first.Another.test");
methodLogger.info("error message from test");
}
public void testClassLogger() {
classLogger.info("error message from class");
}
}
You should only see the "error message from main" get logged. Hope this
helps.
