Use the configureAndWatch() method instead of configure() when configuring log4j. This allows you to specify an interval at which log4j will re-read the configuration file. Works a treat. -----Original Message----- From: Sajid Shaikh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 August 2001 07:41 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How to change the type of logging without restarting the applica tion Is there a way to change the type of logging without restarting the application. We are using a property file to specify the categories and priorities when the application starts. If we change this property file is there a way that log4j will automatically pick up the new property settings without restarting the application ? Thanks for help in advance.
