For example, there is an example property file displayed as the following: log4j.rootCategory=INFO, test log4j.appender.test=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.test.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.test.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.test.File=/local/pkg/logs/test.log log4j.appender.test.Append=true log4j.appender.test.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.test.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy.MM.dd, HH:mm:ss} - %m%n At the first line, after "INFO", a string "test", could someone tell what this String "test" mean please? It seems to me that we could name whatever String we want h More>>

The 'string 'test' is the definition of the group for that log4j entry.
Notice the log4j.appender.test, etc properties that come later.
If you change 'test' to be 'module' then the other properties should be renamed to log4j.appender.module, etc. to belong to the same logger group.
