Need advice for class logging

Hi,

I tried to log different class with e.g. the level "info". But the 
logger logs on the basic level. I've no idea what I'm doing wrong. I 
need somebodies help.
I've defined the logger as a private static variable in the header file.
In my CPP file I get the instance of my logger as follow:

log4cxx::LoggerPtr XMLParser::logger = 
log4cxx::LoggerPtr(log4cxx::Logger::getLogger("limez.xml.XMLParser"));
I'm using the DOMConfigurator to configure and defined within the XML 
file the logger as follow:
  <logger name="limez">
    <level value="info" />
  </logger>

  <root>
    <priority value ="debug" />
    <appender-ref ref="stdout" />
  </root>

Regards
Rainer
