I agree with you (-1). The question boils down to "Where do I put any configuration file (not just log4j) for my system that is used in different environments (development, testing, production or other dimensions like WebSphere vs. JBoss; Standalong vs. Web Application vs. EJB...)? I don't think it's log4j's task to take care of this (Maybe it's Jakarta's common/Configuration's task.) And I doubt that there is a solution that will fit the different needs. Therefore - the simpler the log4j configuration schema is, the simpler it can be integrated in a more advanced, specialized solution. The only thing log4j could provide are more specialized Configurators that read the configuration from JNDI, database or whatever. But even then ...Howdy, IMHO that's too complicated to be worth it. There are too many possibilities for confusion. The simpler we can make configuration, the better. -1 on that.
