> See Appender Additivity Thank you for your help. Here is my solution in detail for the record:
# causes log4j to be verbose while parsing this file log4j.debug # Sets the root category to DEBUG level using the rollfile appenders log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,rollfile # Sets the nuserve category to DEBUG level using the stdout&rollfile appenders log4j.category.nuserve=DEBUG,stdout,rollfile # Sets the additivity flag for the nuserve category to false. This means # that nuserve and its subcategories will not inherit from root, which # is good because tomcat adds appenders to root that I don't want. log4j.additivity.nuserve=false log4j.appender.stdout = org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern =%d{EEE HH:mm:ss} %5p [%c{1}:%L] %m%n log4j.appender.rollfile = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.rollfile.File = nuserve.log log4j.appender.rollfile.MaxFileSize = 5120KB log4j.appender.rollfile.MaxBackupIndex = 5 log4j.appender.rollfile.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.rollfile.layout.ConversionPattern =%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss} %5p [%F:%L] -%m%n -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
