Description

The parameter in the properties example is misleading:

logger.rolling.name = org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling

The value here is actually the logger package name, but since it is given as log4j package, one tends not to change it. It should be something like com.foo.Bar as in the other examples. It actually took 2 hours for me to figure this out.
