Question

I’am developing application based on apache MINA. For secure data transmission I use SSL. And there appears some annoying thing: when I receive incomming message, SslFilter class appends about 10kbytes to the log-file. How can I prevent this?

I finally found the solution for this problem. Here is the log4j.xml source:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>

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