Why is the Log4j rootLogger in my application not filtering log events according to level? In my log4j.properties, I have several loggers:
log4j.rootLogger=info,stdout
log4j.logger.com.name.myapp=debug,myapp
log4j.logger.org.castor=debug,castor
log4j.logger.org.exolab.castor=debug,castor
log4j.logger.org.hibernate=debug,hibernate
log4j.logger.org.springframework=debug,spring
Each of the loggers receive and record numerous log events at levels DEBUG and above, which is what I expect. The rootLogger, however, despite being set to level INFO, is displaying all of these events, too, including the DEBUG events, which is not what I expect. Instead, I would expect it to filter the DEBUG events, but display only the events at level INFO and higher (WARN, ERROR, and FATAL). Why is rootLogger displaying all of the events?
