log4cxx configuration...

[Kendal Montgomery]

I'm curious if anyone else has tried or has issues with configuring 
logging levels for specific loggers in a log4cxx.xml file?  I have the 
following log4cxx.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
    <!-- Output the log message to system console.
     -->
    <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %-5p 
[%t] %c{2} - %m%n" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
        <level value="INFO" />
        <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    </root>

    <!--
    <category name="Outstation.Messaging">
        <priority value ="DEBUG" />
    </category>
    -->
    <logger name="Outstation.Messaging">
        <level value="DEBUG" />
    </logger>

    <logger name="Outstation.Messaging.TestHandler">
        <level value="DEBUG" />
    </logger>

</log4j:configuration>

I have a logger configured in my code with the name 
"Outstation.Messaging.TestHandler". I'm used to using log4j and if I 
configured it this way, all messages that did not have a specific 
priority set would be logged at level INFO, but with this configuration, 
anything with Outstation.Messaging or lower should be logged at level 
DEBUG, and specifically the logger i have defined in my code that I 
mention above should log DEBUG level messages to the console.  However, 
this is not happening; I get nothing but INFO all around.  If I change 
the root logger level to DEBUG, I get everything logging at DEBUG level, 
but finer grained logger configuration doesn't seem to work.  Does 
log4cxx not use hierarchical logger configuration separated by a period 
like java?

Any ideas?  I'm using 0.10.0.

Thanks in advance.
