Log4J Query

[Shrinivas Mujumdar]

Hello all,
I have incorporated log4j (1.2.13)in my web application (which uses Struts 1.2). I have added log statements in one of the Custom Action class for testing purpose only& its logging properly at desired location in a log file..I am using FileAppender with some conversion pattern.
Now the issue is, I was expecting log statements from my Action class only whereas its logging everything(log statements from Struts specific classes like RequestProcessor etc.) into same log file.
What i need is log from my classes only, can you help me to achieve the same?

To turn off logging of the other packages, you will have to do something like:

<category name="org.apache">
     <priority value="OFF"/>
   </category>

This is just an example for turning off logging of Struts

Thanks first of all.
Small doubt.:
Where i will write this?

I am using log4j.properties file

I use log4j.xml. In case you are using log4j.properties then the syntax for the same is as follows:

log4j.category.org.apache = OFF

set the additivity to fasle , then this will only add to the current appender not to the parent appenders.
But from the previous post i guess that you have already fixed this..My fix is for .4 version of log4j..in which category class has been depricated..the only availabel public class is Logger.
