First off, I believe the way you've defined things is causing the second <logger> to 'overwrite' the first <logger> since they have the same name.
Second, you can easily do what you want by defining 2 appenders on that logger with filters: <appender name="file" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"> <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter"> <param name="LevelToMatch" value="DEBUG"/> <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> </filter> <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/> </appender> <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter"> <param name="LevelToMatch" value="INFO"/> <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/> </filter> <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/> </appender> <logger name="uk.co.his.eop"> <appender-ref ref="file"/> <appender-ref ref="console"> </logger> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julian Kite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 12:20 PM Subject: Problems with multiple (same) categories, but diff prioritys Hi, Does anyone know how I can use the DOM based configuration to do the following? My application logs to a Class name based category i.e. 'uk.co.his.eop.????" I want to 1. Put all DEBUG and above messages to a file 2. Put all INFO and above messages to the console If I set up to the two logger/category elements with the same name the second is ignored, but I can only specify the Level inside a logger/category element. This is what I mean (I've removed details of the appenders, for clarity): <logger name="uk.co.his.eop "> <level value="DEBUG"></level> <appender-ref ref="file"></appender-ref> </logger> <logger name="uk.co.his.eop "> <level value="INFO"></level> <appender-ref ref="console"></appender-ref> </logger> In this case the file shows nothing(empty) and the console shows everything of INFO and above! If I swap them around - i.e. <logger name="uk.co.his.eop "> <level value="INFO"></level> <appender-ref ref="console"></appender-ref> </logger> <logger name="uk.co.his.eop "> <level value="DEBUG"></level> <appender-ref ref="file"></appender-ref> </logger> The console shows nothing and the file shows everything of DEBUG and above! What I am attempting to do seems quite simple and typical for logging purposes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!
