Hey folks,

I'm configuring log4j from the log4j.properties file.
My problem is that I want to use one logger to log to the console and another logger to log to a file.

There are two appenders. One to the console and one to a file.
The root logger uses both.

I've created two loggers ConsoleLogger and FileLogger
and set both of their additivity attributes to false so that
they shouldn't inherit from the root?? Is this correct?

I instantiate the logger in my code as follows.

			

			private static Logger log =Logger.getLogger("ConsoleLogger");
			

		

			

			# Log4j configuration file.
			

			

			log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1, A2
			

			

			# Available levels are DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
			

			

			#
			

			

			#####################################
			

			# ConsoleLogger
			

			#####################################
			

			

			log4j.logger.ConsoleLogger=DEBUG, A1
			

			log4j.additivity.ConsoleLogger=false
			

			

			# A1 is a ConsoleAppender
			

			

			

			log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%t] - %m%n
			

			

			#####################################
			

			# FileLogger
			

			#####################################
			

			

			log4j.logger.Filelogger=DEBUG,A2
			

			log4j.additivity.Filelogger=false
			

			

			# A2 is a DailyRollingFileAppender
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2.file=logs/logfile.log
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2.datePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2.append=true
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
			

			

			log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n
			

		

Thanks,
Mark.
