Ex: <category name="com.mycompany.package1" additivity="false"> | <priority value="ERROR" /> | <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /> | </category> | | <category name="com.mycompany.package2"> | <priority value="ERROR" /> | </category> | | <root> | <priority value="INFO" /> | <appender-ref ref="SMTP" /> | <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /> | <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> | </root> | Here com.mycompany.package1 will log only to the CONSOLE because the additivity flag is set to false. That flag can be used to specify that the log messages of a particular category are not to be propagated to the parent categories (the root in this case).
