I switched my properties file to an xml configuration file and I still cannot get it to work. I have tried both the LevelMatchFilter and the LevelRangeFilter.
Below is my current configuration file: No matter what I try, I seem to either get nothing in the lcd.log file, or all messages. I only want trace messages. I changed from a LevelMatchFilter b/c I found someone complaining that it did not work - that the other levels returned "neutral", so they too match (and indeed were logged to log file). Then I tried specifying the rest of the log levels - fatal, error, info, debug with a value of "false" for AcceptOnMatch. That didn't work either. There seems to be something fundamentally that I am missing, but I can't seem to figure it out. What is the trick to using either a LevelMatchFilter or a LevelRangeFilter?
