Howdy, There's no overriding reason usually to move from properties to XML files for log4j configuration. XML configuration does do a couple of things properties can't, although off the top of my head I can't remember what those things are. OTOH, as always, XML is more verbose than plaintext, takes longer to parse/load/unmarshal/whatever you do with it.
