Hi,
appenders are inherited additively from the category hierarchy. That means
exactly what you describe.
It is possible to override this default behavior so that appender
accumulation is no longer additive by setting the additivity flag to false.
See
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/Category.html#setA
dditivity(boolean)
(This was quoted from the 'Appenders and Layouts' section of 'Short
introduction to log4j' [http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html])
Bye,
Martin.
