Answer 1

Looks like your messages are being logged once by the root logger and again by the specific logger as you may have both the appenders configured (may be at different places -in a properties file and then in code).

This can be solved by setting additivity to false on your logger. Log4j manual mentions additivity in the Appenders and Layout section.Check that out
