I was thinking about something similar to ant's syntax,
<!-- Load properties from a file -->
<property file="log4j.properties"/>
<!-- Explicitely define a property -->
<property name="smtp.host" value="smtp.mycompany.com"/>
Not sure if this is feasible... the DTD would need to be updated
to support this new 'property' element.
The reason I asked, is because when using PropertyConfigurator, I found
it convenient and easier to share and copy log files by having a
section that defines the application dependent parameters at the
beginning of my configuration file and having the appenders unchanged
across applications and reference the variables... I started using
DOMConfigurator in order to be able to use AsyncAppender.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Fabien
