[logback-user] logging output duplicated

[Chris Cheshire]

Ceki,

What I want is only ERROR logging from the external libraries (eg
Stripes), while having DEBUG from my own.

Do I need to define it as :

<root level="ERROR">
  <appender-ref ref="EMAIL" />
</root>

<logger name="foo" level="DEBUG" additivity="false">
  <appender-ref ref="EMAIL" />
  <appender-ref ref="FILE"  />
</logger>


Regarding the additivity, why are INFO messages being logged by the
root logger when its threshold is ERROR? Shouldn't it just be ERROR
getting picked up by that section, even with the additivity on?

Thanks

Chris
