I have got around to upgrading my applcation to use latest version of log4j but I am having problem getting my xml config to work: <configuration configDebug="true"> <appender name="SLOW" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <param name="File" value="System.err" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%t] %c{2} %C{2} (%F(%M):%L) \n\t %m\n"/> </layout> </appender> <category name="com.orbisuk.telewest.twowaytv.Test"> <priority value="debug" /> </category> <root> <priority value ="info" /> <appender-ref ref="SLOW" /> </root> </configuration> log4j: Disable override="null". log4j: Ignoring disableOverride attribute. log4j: Retreiving an instance of org.apache.log4j.Category. log4j: Priority value for com.orbisuk.telewest.twowaytv.Test is [debug]. log4j: com.orbisuk.telewest.twowaytv.Test priority set to DEBUG log4j: Priority value for root is [info]. log4j: root priority set to INFO log4j:ERROR No appender named [SLOW] could be found. log4j: Appender named [SLOW] not found. The actual priorities are ignored in the output from the Category.debug(), etc. The XML is passed in as an XML org.w3c.dom.Element read from a valdating parser (so if I change one of "SLOW"s to "ARGHH" then I get an XML error) Apart from the change from <log4j> -> <configuration>, the XML is unchanged from 0.95, where it worked perfectly. Any suggestions?
