You say "just part of a java app"... Some other part of that app must be
doing something with log4j. Try the code in your last message in a simple
main method using the property file; something like:
public class Tester
{
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( Tester.class );
public static void main( String[] args )
{
logger.info( "Testing" );
}
}
This will put a single log message into your log.txt file without it showing
up on stdout.
You can also slightly modify the properties file to subvert whatever else is
playing with log4j...
log4j.rootLogger=INFO
log4j.DamlBuilder=INFO,FILE
log4j.additivity.DamlBuilder=false
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=./log.txt
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%p -%m%n
which basically tells lo4j to log messages sent to the logger named
DamlBuilder _only_ to appenders explicitly attached to it, and not the
appenders of loggers higher in its hierarchy. This is assuming that the
DamlBuilder class is not in a package; if it is, then make the changes in
the above two lines to include its package name...

I initialize it with the following line of code:
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( DamlBuilder.class );
The only other line is:
logger.info( "Input file: " + getInputFileName() + two_spaces +
"Output file: " + getOutputFileName() + two_spaces +
instances + " Object Instances Created" +
two_spaces + QuickTimeFormat.msToSecs( pTime ) + "
seconds." );

How are you doing the initialization of log4j?
Are you possibly using jakarta-commons-logging or using something that uses
it?

Standalone. Just part of a java app.

You should not be. In what type of environment is this running? In Tomcat?
In an app-server?

Steven,
Thanks. This works, but I still get output to the screen (standard out?) as
well. Is there a way to prevent this?

Will create a file named log.txt in the current working directory (the
directory from where the java process was started).

Subject: Newbie Question
I am using Log4j for the first time. How do I set up a property file
(correctly) so I only log to a file and not to the console? I only want
messages at level INFO or higher in my log file. This is what I tried. It
didn't work:
log4j.rootLogger = INFO
log4j.DamlBuilder=INFO, FILE
#log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.appache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
#set the appender FILE
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=.\log.txt
#set the layout for the appenders
#log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
#log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.conversionPattern=%p -%m%n
#set the layout for the appenders
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%p -%m%n
Thanks,
Neil
