FileHandler.level not overriding the global level

[Shravan Payasam]

I'm using jdk logging and i've the below in the logging.properties:

handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler .level= INFO java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = FINEST java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = log/soap_%g.log java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000 java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1 java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter # Limit the message that are printed on the console to INFO and above. java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter ############################################################ # Facility specific properties. # Provides extra control for each logger. ############################################################ # For example, set the com.xyz.foo logger to only log SEVERE # messages: com.pvm.ccd.service.client=FINEST com.pvm.ccd..service.client.handler=FINEST com.pvm.ccd..service.client.util=FINEST

The log file soap_0.log and lck file are getting created , however, I don't see any log.fine(msg) entries in the log file. Since I've set the FileHandler level to FINEST, it should override the global INFO level, shouldn't it?

I'm java 1.6 u15. What am I doing wrong?
