I have following XML configration i would like to convert to java property file.

I am getting below error

log4j:WARN Failed to set property [filter] to value "org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter".
log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate class [true].

My XML configration

  <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.StringMatchFilter">
    <param name="StringToMatch" value="FileNotfound" />
    <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true" />
  </filter>

  <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
        <param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR"/>
        <param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL"/>
    </filter>

  <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/>

After converting the property file is as below. With XML configration it is working fine.

Property File

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, MAIL

log4j.appender.MAIL=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
# here's where I specify the layout and the pattern

log4j.appender.MAIL.BufferSize=1
log4j.appender.MAIL.SMTPHost=xxx.example.com
log4j.appender.MAIL.From=xxx@example.com
log4j.appender.MAIL.To=xxx@example.com
log4j.appender.MAIL.Subject=Test Email.
log4j.appender.MAIL.threshold=error
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{ISO8601}]%n%n%-5p%n%n%c%n%n%m%n%n
log4j.appender.MAIL.filter=org.apache.log4j.varia.StringMatchFilter
log4j.appender.MAIL.filter.StringToMatch=Filenotfound
log4j.appender.MAIL.filter.AcceptOnMatch=true
log4j.appender.MAIL.filter=org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter


log4j.logger.com.devdaily.myapp=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.springframework=DEBUG
