Dave,
Try adding the line below to your config file: log4j.additivity.umn.edu.cidrap.admin.ContentBean=false It appears that your logger is inheriting the root's config (see the additivity section in the log4j doc). Hope that helps, Manish "Dave Bender" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 04/02/2002 04:17:25 PM Please respond to "Log4J Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: newbie: trouble making sub category log differently I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot get a Category of mine to log to a location other than that of the rootCategory. Can someone point out what I'm missing? The behaviour I'd like is for all loggers to output to a file, except for one category, which should log to the console. I've defined "A1" and "A2" as my appenders and both are functional, in that if I assign the root category to go there, everything goes where it's instructed to go. But if I assign my category, umn.edu.cidrap.admin.ContentBean, to use one or the other or both, it doesn't. The output goes where the rootCategory is defined to go. Any help would be appreciated. I think I've covered all the documentation, but if it's there, I'm not seeing it.
