-----------------------------------
Summary: documentation error regarding additivity default value
Key: LOG4J2-1885
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1885
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.8.2
Reporter: Hal Deadman
On this page: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html
There is the following sentence:
"The additivity attribute may be assigned a value of true or false. If the
attribute is omitted the default value of false will be used."
Additivity controls the inheritance of appenders from parent loggers, correct?
There are examples in the documentation that say will you will get duplicate
logging if you don't set additivity to false (if you are setting the same
appender at the root and on the logger). That implies that the default
additivity is true, which would be consistent with logback, log4j, etc.
