My log4j.properties file is pasted below. My understanding is that we need
to add Appenders to the *root *logger for the appender to work. As you can
see in the below properties file, only appender A is attached to the root
logger (log4j.rootLogger=info, A). However, what I see is that the logging
information is printed to both the appenders (ConsoleAppender - A and File
Appender - B). How is this possible?
log4j.rootLogger=info, A
log4j.appender.A=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] [rid=%X{RID} ]
%-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.B=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.B.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.B.file=target/server.log
log4j.appender.B.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
I have posted the same question on
