The loggers, if their names contain dots (like yours es.indra) form a hierarchy based on these dots. If in code you you fetch a named logger (i.e. "es.indra.something") there will be a logger instance in the repository but no appenders attached (because it is not configured in the xml file). Log statements issued on this logger climb up the hierarchy. The logger "es.indra" is found, and its appender served. If there is no additivity attribute (or ="true" which is the default) the climbing goes on until it reaches the root logger. All Appenders of all Loggers found on this way are served. If a Logger is found which has the additivity flag="false" the climbing up the hierarchy stops. So, log statements issued on the logger "es.indra.segurcaixa" end up in the configured logger "es.indra" and not reach the root logger, but statements issued to a logger named "com.xy" would reach the root logger.
