Having just written a test case for the LevelMatchFilter, I believe that its
behavior is to accept ONLY the level you have specified. So, in the first
appender, only DEBUG messages will be captured. You will be out of luck if
you want debug or above.
You can look at using the LevelRangeFilter class instead, but I think the
better solution is to set the threshold property of the appenders similar to
this:
<appender name="file" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
[all the specific file appender/layout settings go here]
<param name="threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
</appender>
<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
[all the specific console appender/layout settings go here]
<param name="threshold" value="INFO"/>
</appender>
<logger name="uk.co.his.eop">
<appender-ref ref="file"/>
<appender-ref ref="console">
</logger>
hope it helps,
