Description

In v1.8.0 of the Axis2 webapp, the \webapp\WEB-INF\classes\log4j2.xml file has the following config by default:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="debug" name="axis2" packages="">
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>
        </Console>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Logger name="org.apache" level="warn" additivity="false" >
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Logger>
        <Logger name="org.apache.axis2" level="debug" additivity="false" >
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Logger>
        <Logger name="org.springframework" level="warn" additivity="false" >
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Logger>
        <Root level="debug">
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

 

This causes a lot of log msgs to be logged into Apache Tomcat's catalina.out log file.

 Could the Root level be set as info and the name="org.apache.axis2" logger be commented or changed to info as well?
