> We're using the JDBC appender to log to database and provide connections from 
> a C3P0 pool.
> We're finding deadlocks when reconfiguring the log4j2 configuration under 
> heavy load.
> It seems like C3P0 writes to log4j when getting/returning connections from/to 
> the pool and the application deadlocks.
> I think what happens is: When the appender gets a connection from the pool, 
> the call to log4j from C3P0 notices the configuration change, tries to 
> reconfigure, and waits for all appenders (including itself) to finish...
> To simplify things I've written a small sample application (Maven project) 
> with a custom appender that uses log4j in its append method.
> As you can see the application deadlocks soon (usually on the first 
> reconfiguration)
