    copied!<p>I am having problem that even though I specify the level to ERROR in the root tag, the specified appender logs all levels (debug, info, warn) to the file regardless the settings. I am not a log4j expert so any help is appreciated.</p> <p>Here is a bit more info on the subject:</p> <ul> <li>I have checked the classpath for log4j.properties (there is none) except the log4j.xml</li> </ul> <p>here is the log4j.xml file:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"&gt; &lt;log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'&gt; &lt;!-- ============================== --&gt; &lt;!-- Append messages to the console --&gt; &lt;!-- ============================== --&gt; &lt;appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="Target" value="System.out" /&gt; &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n --&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="[AC - %5p] [%d{ISO8601}] [%t] [%c{1} - %L] %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;appender name="logfile" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="File" value="./logs/server.log" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="2" /&gt; &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="[AC - %-5p] {%d{dd.MM.yyyy - HH.mm.ss}} %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;appender name="payloadAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="File" value="./logs/payload.log" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" /&gt; &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="[AC - %-5p] {%d{dd.MM.yyyy - HH.mm.ss}} %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;appender name="errorLog" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="File" value="./logs/error.log" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" /&gt; &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="[AC - %-5p] {%d{dd.MM.yyyy - HH.mm.ss}} %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;appender name="traceLog" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="File" value="./logs/trace.log" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" /&gt; &lt;param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="20" /&gt; &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt; &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="[AccessControl - %-5p] {%t: %d{dd.MM.yyyy - HH.mm.ss,SSS}} %m%n" /&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;appender name="traceSocketAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender"&gt; &lt;param name="remoteHost" value="localhost" /&gt; &lt;param name="port" value="4445" /&gt; &lt;param name="locationInfo" value="true" /&gt; &lt;/appender&gt; &lt;logger name="TraceLogger"&gt; &lt;level value="trace" /&gt; &lt;!-- Set level to trace to activate tracing --&gt; &lt;appender-ref ref="traceLog" /&gt; &lt;/logger&gt; &lt;logger name="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.interceptor"&gt; &lt;level value="DEBUG" /&gt; &lt;appender-ref ref="payloadAppender" /&gt; &lt;/logger&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;level value="error" /&gt; &lt;appender-ref ref="errorLog" /&gt; &lt;/root&gt; &lt;/log4j:configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>If I replace the root with another logger, then nothing gets logged at all to the specified appender.</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;logger name="com.mydomain.logic"&gt; &lt;level value="error" /&gt; &lt;appender-ref ref="errorLog" /&gt; &lt;/logger&gt; </code></pre> <p>... and thank you guys for the hints so far:-)</p>
