Well, I see a few things, and I'm sure others on this list will see more: <snip> log4j.catagory.jsp_servlet._engineeringcentral=DEBUG, pdm </snip>
None of these are going to do anything, because "catagory" is misspelt ;) Secondly, based on your comment, I think you may have the concept of Appenders somewhat confused: <snip> # Appenders inherit error messages from parents, we don't want cascading error messages. </snip> To be accurate, Loggers (formerly Categories) inherit from parent loggers and follow the dot notation (parent.child.grandchild.greatgrandchild), etc. This means that if there exists a logger named "jsp_servlet._sms", there is a parent Logger named "jsp_servlet", which itself has a parent Logger of the root (default) Logger.. To make the logger named "jsp_servlet._sms" non-additive, this means you don't want its output sent to any appenders associated with the Logger named "jsp_servlet" or the root Logger. This is useful if you have logging output separated (to appenders) based on logger hierarchy and don't want certain log events duplicated across your appenders. You have the additivity settings properly applied to Loggers, and the comment about Appender inheritance might just be a typo. Just a warning. I'm more familiar with the log4j xml configuration, so I'll let others comment on what else might be wrong. -- -Scott Scott Heaberlin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
