The root section is called every time a logging section is received. Any logging events where the logger name starts with org.apache causes that logging section to be used IN ADDITION to the root section.

The <logger> adds to that. So I put the following: <root> <priority value="warn" /> <appender-ref ref="stdout" /> <appender-ref ref="tomcat" /> </root> Which puts all warn and worse in those 2 appenders. And that works fine. But then I also want info for org.apache in stdout only. So I add: <logger name="org.apache" additivity="false"> <level value="info"/> <appender-ref ref="stdout" /> </logger> And now tomcat gets nothing written to it. Why? The <logger> element does not mention tomcat. ??? - thanks - dave David Thielen 303-499-2544 www.windwardreports.com -----Original Message----- From: James Stauffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 7:23 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: Duplicate log entries - 1 last issue On 9/22/05, David Thielen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I have: > <logger name=3D"org.apache" additivity=3D"false"> > <level value=3D"info"/> > <appender-ref ref=3D"stdout" /> > </logger> > Then nothing is written to the tomcat appender. Changing that to the following would also send the output to tomcat <logger name="org.apache" additivity="false"> <level value="info"/> <appender-ref ref="stdout" /> <appender-ref ref="tomcat" /> </logger> > If I have: > > <logger name=3D"org.apache"> > <level value=3D"info"/> > <appender-ref ref=3D"stdout" /> > </logger> > > Then I get two problems: > > First, tomcat now has INFO logging (want that in stdout only). Second, > stdout gets each entry twice. To fix the first problem you could set a threshold on the tomcat appender so it only write warn logs. <param name="Threshold" value="warn"/> To solve the 2nd problem you you need to make sure that either additivity is false for <logger name="org.apache"> or that tomcat isn't specified for both <logger name="org.apache"> and <root>. > > Log4j.xml: > > <?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration > SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration > xmlns:log4j=3D"http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";> > > > > <appender name=3D"stdout" > > class=3D"org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> > > <layout class=3D"org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > > <param name=3D"ConversionPattern" value=3D"%5p [%t] %m - > %c %M%n"/> > > </layout> > > </appender> > > > > <appender name=3D"tomcat" > > class=3D"org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> > > <param name=3D"file" > > value=3D"${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log"/> > > <param name=3D"MaxFileSize" value=3D"100KB"/> > > <param name=3D"MaxBackupIndex" value=3D"10"/> > > <layout class=3D"org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > > <param name=3D"ConversionPattern" > > value=3D"%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %5p [%t] %c - %m%n"/> > > </layout> > > </appender> > > > > <appender name=3D"windward" > > class=3D"org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> > > <param name=3D"file" > > value=3D"${catalina.home}/logs/windward.log"/> > > <param name=3D"MaxFileSize" value=3D"100KB"/> > > <param name=3D"MaxBackupIndex" value=3D"10"/> > > <layout class=3D"org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > > <param name=3D"ConversionPattern" > > value=3D"%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %5p [%t] %c - %m%n"/> > > </layout> > > </appender> > > > > <logger name=3D"net.windward" additivity=3D"false"> > > <level value=3D"info"/> > > <appender-ref ref=3D"windward" /> > > </logger> > > <logger name=3D"org.apache"> > > <level value=3D"info"/> > > <appender-ref ref=3D"stdout" /> > > </logger> > > <root> > > <priority value=3D"warn" /> > > <appender-ref ref=3D"stdout" /> > > <appender-ref ref=3D"tomcat" /> > > </root> > > > > </log4j:configuration> > > > > > > > -- James Stauffer Are you good?
