Chris, In the current log4j, both PropertyConfigurator and DOMConfigurator support a configureAndWatch() method that you can use to configure log4j from a configuration file and update the configuration when ever the file changes.
For the future, I have proposed some extensions to the log4j-dev list to enhance the underlying mechanism to support for more types of "watchdogs" (file, web url, socket, etc) that can support any Configurator subclass and can be handled separate from the the configureAndWatch() method. If you are interested, send me an email. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 9:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: repeat question - dynamic monitoring of config file I remember hearing someone ask about auto-reloading of changes to the config file, but I can't seem to find it in the archive. could someone please refresh my memory as to how this is possible? thanks. chris ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- - Christopher Lambert Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Avenue M/S L-493 Livermore, CA 94550 B 481, Rm 2231 - (925) 423-4927 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
