I have no idea where best to post this question , so I'll post it here.
I have multiple applications running on one appserver instance. Each one of
these requires its own log4j config. To accomplish this, I've subclassed
RepositorySelector as below to be able to use different configs for different
contexts.
I'm trying to enable dynamic reloading of the log4j config. Log4j supposedly
supports this with the Configurator.configureAndWatch() method. However, the
API is not available for DOM objects coupled with the RepositorySelector
extension. So, I exposed the config loading code to a servlet call (not very
secure, but sufficient for the immediate term).
Here's the problem. When the config info is reloaded, it does not actually
replace the old config in the jboss memory structures. So, where is the log4j
config being stored in jboss? Is it a bug that its not replacing the config?
If not, is there a facility for getting around this, or even a suggested hack?
Thanks for your help.
/**

* The essentials are that this RepositorySelector replaces the standard one.
This one maintains

should have
* a different ClassLoader. If the classloader asking for a repository is not
one of the ones
* stored in the hashmap, then the std default jboss one is returned.
