Kaneda,
1) Yes, you have the right order, and understanding.
2 & 3) I think your settings for the categories are incorrect. I refer you
to the "short introduction" found at
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html.
Instead of:
log4j.appender.stdout.category.com.foo=INFO
you should have:
log4j.category.com.foo=INFO
Any log4j output from the category named "com.foo" of priority INFO or
higher will be output. With your settings, the output will be caught by the
appenders defined for the rootCategory, stdout, R1, R2. If you wanted the
output of a category to go to a specific appender, you could remove one from
the rootCategory, say R1, and "attach" it to the category you want as:
log4j.category.com.foo=INFO, R1
I would also recommend looking at and using an xml configuration file.
There should be better documentation on the xml settings, but once you
figure out the DTD the configuration definition make more sense (in my
opinion).
Hope it helps,
-Mark

Subject: How to configure LOG4J
Hello,
As you can see I am new and I can not correctly configure Log4j in order
to publish different LEVEL out put so I'll ask few question :
1. just to be sure :
DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL
Which means that If I set my appender to DEBUG, I'll retrieve all the
Log,
and I set to ERROR I'll only gonna retrieve ERROR and FATAL
?
2. This is where I have a problem I try to have 2 differentes output :
one for the log from com.foo.MyApp2 and another for the log from
com.foo.Bar.
I obtain 2 file but they have the same value.
3. I Also try to have different Log level for those 2
this is my properties file : (the classes com.foo.MyApp2 and com.foo.Bar
are from the manual http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html)
