Log4J 1.2.7 Question

["Corbin, James" <Ja...@starwoodhotels.com>]

Hello,

 

I am setting up log4J logging in my web application.  I app is running
against JBOSS which also uses Log4J for their server logging.

 

I initially tried configuring my logger using a local configuration file
that defined a console and file appender.  When I tried logging, it put the
server (JBOSS) logging into a loop.  I guess it conflicted with the console
and file appender that JBOSS defined (not sure tho').

 

To get around this,  I created a new category for my application and now I
log to the category vs. directly to the logger.  The side effect of this is
illustrated in the following log message pulled from the console.

 

13:30:18,816 INFO  [STDOUT] 13:30:18,816,LightSpeed        [DEBUG] - Request
EchoToken = String

 

It appends my application (DEBUG) message to the server logging (INFO)
message.  Could someone clarify why this is happening and how I might be
able to reconfigure my application logging to prevent this from happening.

 

I haven't used Log4j for sometime so I am not actually sure what is
happening.

 

I guess I want to be able to define my application logging independent of
any application server, that may or may not use Log4J for their server
logging.  I thought by creating a separate category then defining unquie
console & file appenders then attaching them to the category would solve my
problem, but alas, it did not as evidenced by the log entry above.

 

TIA
