Sorry, mistake in my xml. Try this instead: <logger name="Request" additivity="false"> <level value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="Request"/> </logger>
<root> <priority value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="DailyLog"/> </root> You can tell how often I actually change additivity. As penance I shall update the section in the wiki faq about the logger format. :-) -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Womack > Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:18 AM > To: 'Log4J Users List' > Subject: RE: Help for starter.. > > > Configuring log4j with 2 or 3 different configuration files, the last > configuration file will be in affect.
