Hi! Thanks a lot for the reply, it did help *a lot* :-). I still have a few concerns, though they're just things that surprise me rather than real problems.

There not being such an error message made me think there was no problem on this front. That might be a thing they might want to improve in the next release.

Or is this not taken into account when displaying messages coming from child loggers? anyway, thanks again, now it's gonna work like a charm :-) cheers pagod -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Configuring-log4j-with-XML-tp25666820p25677104.html Sent from the Log4j - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
