I am using a third-party library which has a log4j.xml configuration - what\'s the best way to turn off the logging?
With log4j.xml the minimal solution looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration threshold="off">
</log4j:configuration>
Note that in threshold="off"
, "off" must be in lower case.
Or directly from code:
Logger.getRootLogger().removeAllAppenders();
You could also try setting the logging level to "Severe" if you only want to log game-breaking events.
Depends on configuration. Try something like:
<log4j:configuration>
<root>
<priority value ="off" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
<appender-ref ref="rolling-file" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
Check Log4jXmlFormat for more details.
I think all that is required is to set the threshold parameter to OFF
<log4j:configuration threshold="OFF">
<root>
<priority value ="off" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
<appender-ref ref="rolling-file" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
