Category root set to OFF

[Sullivan, Sean C - MWT]

Here is my configuration:

        Jakarta Commons Logging 1.0.3
        Log4j 1.2.8
        IBM Websphere Application Server 4.0.5

My stdout log file shows this output:

log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[OFF].
log4j: Level token is [OFF].
log4j: Category root set to OFF
log4j: Finished configuring.

What does "Category root set to OFF" mean?


Here is my config file, log4j.xml
