NEWBIE PROBLEM: Another inheritence question

[Jeff Epstein <je...@insight-interactive.com>]

(This is unrelated to my previous post)

I've declared a "root appender" in the property configuration file.  I
specifically assigned the appender to com.foo.Bar, and did not apply *any*
property configuration variables for com.foo.  However, com.foo is ALSO
printing out to the com.foo.Bar file.  I thought that com.foo.Bar inherits
from com.foo, but not the other way around.

Why is this happening?  I expected there to either be an error (com.foo
doesn't have an appender), or for com.foo simply to not log anything,
anywhere.

Thanks!  (Again)

------------------------------------------------------------
PROPERTY FILE:  log4j_config2.txt
------------------------------------------------------------
# Root logger
	log4j.debug=true
	log4j.rootLogger=INFO, com.foo.Bar

# com.foo.Bar
	log4j.appender.com.foo.Bar=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
	log4j.appender.com.foo.Bar.file=com_foo_Bar.log
	log4j.appender.com.foo.Bar.append=false
	log4j.appender.com.foo.Bar.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
	log4j.appender.com.foo.Bar.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r %-5p %c{2}
%M.%L %x - %m\n
------------------------------------------------------------


...and here's the Java file (PropertyFile2):
------------------------------------------------------------
	import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
	import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class PropertyFile2  {
	public static void main(String[] as_cmdLineParams)  {
		PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j_config2.txt");

		Logger  lgr = Logger.getLogger("com.foo");
		lgr.debug("lgr debug");
		lgr.info("lgr info");
		lgr.warn("lgr warn");
		lgr.error("lgr error");
		lgr.fatal("lgr fatal");

		Logger barlgr = Logger.getLogger("com.foo.Bar");
		barlgr.debug("barlgr debug");
		barlgr.info("barlgr info");
		barlgr.warn("barlgr warn");
		barlgr.error("barlgr error");
		barlgr.fatal("barlgr fatal");
	}

}
