Custom Level Threshold Ignored

[JamieCash]

I have created a custom level that works as far as logging is concerned, but is ignored when set as a threshold.

The level is defined as follows:

public class BusinessLevel extends Level
{
  //Business Level Integer Values
  public static final int BUSINESS_INT = FATAL_INT + 10000;
  
  //Business Levels
  public static final Level BUSINESS = new BusinessLevel(BUSINESS_INT, "BUSINESS", SyslogAppender.LOG_LOCAL0);
  
  /**
   * Constructor
   * 
   * @param level
   * @param levelStr
   * @param syslogEquivalent
   */
  public BusinessLevel(int level, String levelStr, int syslogEquivalent)
  {
    super(level, levelStr, syslogEquivalent);
  }
}

When I set the threshold to fatal, both fatal and business errors are logged. This is correct. But when I set the threshold to business, all levels are logged.

My appender config is as follows:

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
      <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
			<param name="Threshold" value="BUSINESS#BusinessLevel"/>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
         <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
      </layout>
   </appender>

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be much apprecieated.
