I've had a look but can't get it to work - this doesn't seem to be anywhere
in the docs that describe the legal values in the configuration file -
therefore I've just assumed that they map to the bean properties of the
various classes involved (is this right?).
Based on that I've added the line
log4j.category.mercurylog.additivity=false
Anyway, it still doesn't work (ie the damn output still ends up in all the
appenders)- can anyone spot the mistake????
Here's my config file
A log4j properties file suitable for replacing the
# default JBoss ConsoleLogging & FileLogging mbeans.
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, Default, Console
##JBoss stuff
### The server.log file appender
log4j.appender.Default=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.Default.File=../log/server.log
log4j.appender.Default.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# Use the default JBoss format
log4j.appender.Default.layout.ConversionPattern=[%c{1}] %m%n
# Truncate if it aleady exists.
log4j.appender.Default.Append=false
#Example of turning off logging for a category. Uncomment to turn off.
#log4j.category.DefaultDS=FATAL
### The console appender
log4j.appender.Console=org.jboss.logging.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.Threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=[%c{1}] %m%n
##End of JBoss stuff
#The mercury logging configuration
log4j.category.mercurylog=DEBUG, MercuryLog
log4j.category.mercurylog.additivity=false
log4j.appender.MercuryLog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.MercuryLog.File=../log/mercury.log
log4j.appender.MercuryLog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MercuryLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] - %m%n
log4j.appender.MercuryLog.Append=true
log4j.appender.MercuryLog.MaximumFileSize=10000000

Tim,
See appender additivity. It's probably what you want.
