--------------------------------------
Summary: Inaccuracy in the 'Additivity' section of the
'Configuration' web page
Key: LOG4J2-2689
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2689
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Adrien Guerard
[https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/configuration.html] In the
"Additivity" section, there's a code example to demonstrate how duplicate log
lines are added when an appender is referenced in both root and child logger
configs.
The example incorrectly points out that only the TRACE logs are duplicated,
when in reality both ERROR and TRACE logs from 'com.foo.Bar' are duplicated.
Both the prose and sample output are incorrect. It's confusing for readers who
think they understand additivity (e.g. "why would the author go out of their
way to point out only the TRACE logs are duplicated?")
