[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1476?page=comments#action_12425475 ] Chris Cardona commented on GERONIMO-1476: -----------------------------------------
Donald, I wasn't able to replicate this problem. I modified the root logger level from log4j.rootCategory=INFO, CONSOLE, FILE to log4j.rootCategory=ALL, CONSOLE, FILE and it behaved as expected. I saw INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL messages logged into the console and DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL logged into geronimo.log file. Note that the CONSOLE appender has its threshold set to INFO by default and the FILE appender is set to DEBUG by default. Even though the root logger's level is set to ALL it has no influence on the appenders attached to it. The appender's threshold settings will be followed. Please comment if you think I misunderstood your problem otherwise I suggest that we close this issue.
