Subject: RE: Rolling appender, that contains standard err/out
I just came across this in the 1.2.7 release similar code ran without a
problem in the 1.0.2 release I believe...
The output is as follows:
0 [main] INFO testing.Main - The log object is org.apache.log4j.Logger
10 [main] INFO testing.Main - Starting main()
10 [main] INFO testing.Main - init(1)...
It seems that calling the PropertyConfigurator with a String, or just
properties after some categories are initialized, causes the initial
categories to not print any longer.
Any ideas? I looked through the bug database, but I did not see anything
that looked related...
Thanks
