#Appender: stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

##log4j.appender.stdout.ConversionPattern=[%5p] %d{mm:ss} (%F:%M:%L) %n%m%n%n
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%t %-5p %c{2} - %m%n


#Appender: file

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.maxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.maxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.file.File=dbwlog.log
log4j.appender.file.threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
