I also use Weblogic and war/ear file deployment. However, I just wrote a simple little set of JSPs to allow dynamic overrides of the level for defined appenders. This is particular useful for things like user-specific loggers...
However, I let log4j initialize itself initially from its config files. Just some thoughts... |-----Original Message----- |From: Sébastien Hiblot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 9:20 AM |To: Log4J Users List |Subject: RE: Help ! | | |Thx a lot !!! |the problem was that we always add the appenders.
