What is the difference between rootLogger and rootCategory 

Hello friends 

please tell me 

What is the difference between rootLogger and rootCategory

in the configuration 

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %x - %m%n
log4j.logger.Log4jLogSample=debug

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %x - %m%n
log4j.logger.Log4jLogSample=debug


Both outputs the same output.

Thanks in Advance.

Log4j has gone away from using Category and now uses Logger in its 
place.  Just Category is still around for backward compatibility.  You 
should see very little difference (as they both work) now, but I don't 
think categories will exist in Log4j-1.3 so start using loggers now.
