Description

When two logging rules created where one rule allows logging for the given hierarchy and another rule disables specific logging for the logger from the hierarchy declared in the first rule, the rule disabling the logging should take precedence.

For example, when the one rule allows 'info' logging for loggers matching "qpid.message.*" and another rule is added to turn off logging of log event from logger "qpid.message.exchange.discardmsg", the logs from logger "qpid.message.exchange.discardmsg" should not be appended. The current implementation allows logging from disabled loggers.
