No probs, yup, the XML file is easy enough to use. And if you use Eclipse to develop you can also extract the log4j.dtd file from the log4j jar and plonk it in the same directory as your log4j.xml file, that should automatically give you code completion for the xml file while you edit it.
When you load in your properties I suggest using the configureAndWatch method: DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch(logFilePath); If you aren't doing it already. Cause somewhere along the line you will get tired of shutting down your application to reload properties :-) Alternatively, if you are running a web application where you have a servlet initializing your log4j, you can introduce a method to reload the log4j properties on request. Ok ok ok, lots more than you asked for ;-) great day, W On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 2:22 PM, Jason Purcell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, man! > > I'm still using the old-school properties file, but I might as well switch > to the XML one. > > > On 18/07/2008, Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Hi Jason, >> >> I only saw your question now.
