Of course. You can programatically configure log4j, which means you can pull the config attributes from any source you like. The drawback is that you will have to write the code which interprets the config attributes.
Have a look at the source for the org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator and the org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator classes to see what steps are needed to programatically setup log4j. PS, for the other machine option, both of the standard configurators understand URLs (actually when you pass it a file name it is interpreted as a URL)... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: configuring log4j without a file? is it possible? Hello people, In the examples people use they all seem to give the path of a config file to configure log4j. Is there anyway we can configure log4j (before it logs to a appender) without giving it the path of a config file??? maybe get config from Database? another machine etc? any ideas? solutions? i would be extremely grateful Cheers. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
