Log4j Issue
-----------

Hi,
I am facing a problem related to Log4j...

The problem is such that I have two different Log4j files one in
.properties format and the other in the .xml format..

and their source code is like this

a.properties

log4j.appender.rollinglogfile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
#log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

The problem is that the logs of the a.properties are getting logged on
the Tomcat Server Console when run on the Tomcat Server,, And I have
seperate log files for the a.properties and b.xml, some of the logs of
the a.properties are getting logged on to the b.xml's log files and
some of the b.xml's logs are getting logged on to the a.properties log
file... WHICH should not(I mean to say the logs of a.properties should
get logged into the log files of the a.properties and the logs of the
b.xml should get logged onto the b.xml's log files only)...



I will be waiting for ur replies...

Please its very urgent.

Thanx in Advance...
