It looks like you attached your appenders twice - once for the root logger
and once for a specific logger. Since you haven't turned off additivity in
any logger, every log event that happens at, say, com.inxight.* gets sent to
the Console and Logfile appenders, and THEN, since its additivity is on, the
same event gets relayed up the hierachy until it reaches the root logger.
Since the root logger has the appenders Console and Logfile appenders
attached, you see the log events twice. A way to fix this is to set
additivity in your loggers to false. The other one is to implement your
appenders with additivity in mind.

I see your test code sends warn level messages - have you tried it with
logger.info(), logger.debug()?
According to your config file, you should see Warn or higher at the console,
and all messages in the log file. Does this happen?
