Log4j: Why is the root logger collecting all log types regardless the configuration?

The root logger resides at the top of the logger hierarchy. It is exceptional in three ways.

Run your program with -Dlog4j. Debug so that standard out gets info about how log4j is configured -- I suspected that it isn't configured the way that you think it is.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
