Bug??

["Dharanendra S. Pandit" <Dh...@netscape.net>]

Hi *.*,

I'm facing a strange problem.  I have specified the following properties 
in configuration file.

log4j.rootCategory=stdout, file

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.priority.stdout=ERROR



log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.HTMLLayout
log4j.appender.file.File=log4j.html
log4j.priority.file=WARN



In summary,
stdout uses a "ConsoleAppender", a "PatternLayout" and its priority is 
set to "ERROR".

file  uses  a "FileAppender", a "HTMLLayout" and its priority is set to 
"WARN".



Only messages having priority of "ERROR" and "FATAL" are logged to 
Console.  This is absolutely fine.

But, the problem is in FileAppender.  Even after specifying the priority 
as "WARN", all messages having priority "DEBUG" and "INFO" are getting 
logged into the log4j.html file.  Looks like its ignoring my prority and 
taking the rootCategory priority which by default is "DEBUG".  How to 
solve this problem?  I have no idea whether this is a bug or my 
configuration file is set wrongly.  I request some one to provide me a 
solution if my configuration is set wrongly.


I had another problem, which I have already put forth before the forum, 
but have not yet got any solution.
If I specify my ConversionPattern for the FileAppender, it is ignoring 
and taking the default one.
I need a pattern of,
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %c - %m%n.  How to 
specify this?


Expecting an early response.


Pandit
