I asked (in the developer forum) how to turn off logging from the configuration file
and Ceki kindly replied as below (basically saying to set log4j.threshold=OFF). This
doesn't appear to have any effect. I'm using log4j 1.1.3.
Perhaps there are some other problems in my configuration file (below).
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1
log4j.threshold=OFF
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%p - %-16c - %m%n
I tried the log4j.threshold=OFF in various places.
Also, surprised to see that if I set log4j.rootCategory=INFO, A1 this suppresses some
(but not all) my INFO trace. This surprised me a) because I thought this statement
meant "please show me all INFO trace" and b) because I can't see any obvious
difference between the statements which still come out and those which do not.
I'm going to try the XML configuration to see if that helps, but any ideas on the
above greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Subject: Re: turn off logging
You can set the threshold of an entire logger hierarchy to OFF
Example in properties (key=value) format:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CON
log4j.appender.CON=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CON.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout
# Turn all logging OFF for all loggers regardless of the logger.
log4j.threshold=OFF
You can achieve the same in In XML format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration threshold="OFF"
xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout"/>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
The important attribute is [threshold="OFF"]
HTH, Ceki
ps: By the way, this is the wrong forum. Your question should have been
asked on the
log4j-user list.
