try setting the additivity of log4j.category.com.x.y.a1 and log4j.category.com.x.y.a2 to false. I think is something like:
log4j.category.com.x.y.a1.Additivity=false log4j.category.com.x.y.a2.Additivity=false This way the appenders are not inherited, so only the appenders you specify are used. Perhaps you would want to try: log4j.category.com.x.Additivity=false so you have complete control over the appenders of your particular hierarchy.
