Situation: I have this log4j logger:

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ThisClassName.class);

And am trying to set it programatically through:

Logger.getLogger(ThisClassName.class).setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

Still, DEBUG level prints are swalloed (while INFO prints are printed successfully).

Even this bit has no effect: Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

Calling logger.debug("foo") reaches Category.forcedLog() and ConsoleAppender.doAppend(), and then fails (quits) at:

if(!isAsSevereAsThreshold(event.getLevel()))

Any idea why this is happening?
