properties file question
I'm trying to do something that I'm pretty sure is simple but I cant
seem to figure out exactly what I need in the properties file.
I want to have 2 appenders, a file and console. I want all messages for
all classes to go to the console but only Info (and above - e.g.
everything bug debug) to go to the file, again for all classes. My
properties file looks like:
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %t %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.LogFile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.LogFile.File=c:/outlog.log
log4j.appender.LogFile.MaxFileSize=500KB
# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.LogFile.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.LogFile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.LogFile.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %t %c - %m%n
# setup all top level package names
log4j.logger.agentthreads=info, LogFile
log4j.logger.dbutil=info, LogFile
log4j.logger.com=info, LogFile
When I do this what happens is that for the package names I list in my
last section I do NOT see debug messages in my stdout appender.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I would suggest verifying that you are setting the threshold
correctly. The logger lines define what is sent to the appenders but
the threshold line determine what is printed so the appender threshold
takes preference.

I changed log4j.rootLoger line to :
Log4j.rootLogger=debug,stdout,LogFile
Then added
Log4j.appender.LogFile.Theshold=info
Now what happens is the LogFile appender gets the debug messages (it
seems like the rootLogger line takes precendent over the Threshold -- or
I'm setting it wrong).

I use the XML format instead of the properties format so this might
not be exact:
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, LogFile
Delete the loggers for the top 3 packages (last 3 lines)
Set a threshold of info on the LogFile appender.
