Jetty has its own logging infrastructure that predates log4j,
commons-logging, java.util.logging, etc ... (Jetty is 20 years old this
year)

Built-in, there's no such logging reload feature to Jetty.

However, we do provide a means to configure the internal logging to emit to
slf4j-api, and at that point your logging infrastructure of choice kicks
in, complete with all of the bells and whistles that your chosen logging
layer performs.

log4j 1.2+ and 2.x is an available option for an implementation of
slf4j-api.
As are slf4j itself, commons-logging, logback, and java.util.logging, you
can even choose to capture all 5 logging frameworks and route them to a
single framework that slf4j handles. (that's one of the many powerful
features of slf4j)

We tend to recommend logback over log4j 1.2 (but log4j 2.x is looking
mighty nice)

Note however, that any of the mentioned logging here is for the
server/container itself, not for webapps you deploy within the container.
Those have their own logging.
