Ed, thank you for your reply !
You are right: there was a duplicate definition for my appender - now things are running smooth :) log4j is very new for me, so thank you for the right logger-syntax. I wondered, why loggers are named by package - now I see why :) For changing some app behaviours programmatically I am diving into hivemind-jmx at the moment - there are some points in my app where jmx would be great (reloading cached menue-entries from the database and so on ...) for reducing downtimes. But there would still be a problem with changing the logging-behavior, because redeploying the war-file with a different log4j.properties file doesnt change the logging-levels, for example. When restarting the Tomcat service, the new log4j configuration is activated. So there seems to be a 'higher force', integrated in Tomcat (?) which is loading 'my' log4j.properties ? So I am still looking for the right place to change logging behaviour :( Thanks again, Gerald >Gerald, > >What are the contents of your log4j.properties file?
