Log4J not adding newlines between logfile entries

Question

I am just starting with log4j. I don\'t have a problem with it reading my properties file and actually logging events, but it seems to be appending everything to the end of

Answer 1

Are those %m%n on the same line as the rest? If not, that would explain it.

Oh, and for the 2nd appender, you have a % after %n. That doesn't look right either.

Answer 2

Replace

log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x -
%m%n

with

log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

Same for A2 + there remove the % after the n %m%n% -> m%n

Basically you seem to have a newline after the - character in your ConversionPattern lines. That would explain why the newline isn't output (%n --> outputs platform dependend newline character)

Btw. if you want to know what the options mean
