If you remove 'emailAppender' from your log4j.rootLogger config then part of your problem should be fixed. I had a similar situation and used the following code:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, EXTERNAL log4j.logger.internal=DEBUG,INTERNAL log4j.additivity.internal=false where I defined 2 separate appenders and every logger starting with the string 'internal.'... would just go to the INTERNAL appender. I think this is similar to the problem you have now? matt -----Original Message----- From: Luke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 5:32 AM To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Subject: Appenders Problem Hi All; I would like to write to a specific file when logging from a specific class. Below is my properties file. The class that needs the special behavior is in the model.notification package. It should be handled with the emailAppender, which in turn should only write INFO messages to the email.html file. But what happens is email.html gets everything and fw.html gets everything plus some duplicate entries. What am I doing wrong?
