You could switch to an XML config file and use ENTITY includes to include a file containing your global settings.
Another option would be to use variable replacement in each of your seperate configs. Something like "log4j.logger.org.apache=${ORG_APACHE_LOG_LEVEL}"; then set ORG_APACHE_LOG_LEVEL as a java System property to whatever you want when starting up your server like -D ORG_APACHE_LOG_LEVEL=warn HTH |-----Original Message----- |From: John Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:25 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: newbie setup question | | |Hi there. This is probably a simple question but I'll |post anyway. | |In each of my webapp directories I've created I have a |log4j jar file in WEB-INF/lib and a properties file in |WEB-INF/classes. | |Where would be the best place to set, for example, |'log4j.logger.org.apache=WARN'? | |I would want this to be sort of a global setting. | |Thanks ahead of time. | |Frank | |-- | |Just to let you know how I have setup log4j here is a |quick example... | |log4j.properties: | |log4j.rootLogger=WARN, A1 | |log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender |log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=5MB |log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=1 |log4j.appender.A1.File=/web/logs/webapp.log | |Then in my class I call: | |static Logger logger = |Logger.getLogger("com.foo.webapp.class); | |then proceed with logging. | |__________________________________________________ |Do you Yahoo!? |Yahoo!
