I thought I understood additivity, but apparently I don't. I am using log4j-1.2.17.jar.
After getting a bunch errors like the one in the subject I kept adding additivity tags, but nothing stopped the errors. What is the correct syntax to send the packages (and subpackages/classes) that have appender-ref to the specified appenders *and nothing more*, while stopping the error? My log4j.xml looks like: <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false"> <appender name="FILE" class="net.cndc.log4j.appender.CndcDateRollingFileAppender"> ... <appender name="STARTSTOP" class="net.cndc.log4j.appender.CndcDateRollingFileAppender"> ... <appender name="FILEMOVER" class="net.cndc.log4j.appender.CndcDateRollingFileAppender"> ... <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> ... ... various categories like: ... <category name="net.cndc"> <priority value="DEBUG"/> </category> ... <category name="net.cndc.filemover" additivity="false"> <priority value="INFO"/> <appender-ref ref="FILEMOVER" additivity="false"/> </category> <category name="net.cndc.scheduler.common.controller.CndcSchedulerServiceImpl" additivity="false"> <priority value="INFO"/> <appender-ref ref="STARTSTOP" additivity="false"/> </category> ... <root> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" additivity="true"/> <appender-ref ref="FILE" additivity="true"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> -- View this message in context: http://apache-logging.6191.n7.nabble.com/log4j-WARN-Attribute-additivity-must-be-declared-for-element-type-appender-ref-tp75234.html Sent from the Log4j - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
