Here is what is happening.
I have a Emailer (logger name) and I am adding FileAppender and
SMTPAppender to this logger.
The SMTPAppender never gets called. The message is getting logged to the
file. Both the appenders work if I use a class name instead of string.
I am not sure what I am missing.
Here is the log4j.xml file
---------------------------------------------
<appender name="BFile" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="File" value="test.log"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}]
%m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="BAlert" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>
......
</appender>
<appender name="BNoFileAlert"
class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
........
</appender>
<logger name="a.b.c.Main" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="BFile"/>
<appender-ref ref="BAlert"/>
</logger>
<logger name="Emailer" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="BFile"/>
<appender-ref ref="BNoFileAlert"/>
</logger>

Howdy,
Yup, it's allowed. The name is just a String, doesn't have to be a
class name. Of course, if you don't actually have anything that does
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("StringLogger") in your code, the
StringLogger will never be used and thus is meaningless in the
configuration ;)
