I think you should do that in your own application initialization code.
You can define this "watchConfiguration" property and use it to control
which log4j configure method is used.
Something like:
/***************************************************************************
*****************/
String configFlag = System.getProperty("watchConfiguration");
String configFile = System.getProperty("configFile");
if ( configFlag.equalsIgnoreCase("true") {
PropertyConfigurator.configure(configFile);
}
else {
PropertyConfigurator.configure.configureAndWatch(configFile, 5000);
}
/***************************************************************************
*****************/
