Firstly, allow me to apologise if this question has already been answered - I don't have access to a searchable archive of the list.
I am using log4j within the OpenEJB EJB server and I am able to set my configuration file (via the property -Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/logging.conf) add appenders, loggers etc. This all works perfectly but I now dearly need to reconfigure the loggers at runtime and I have found that in previous projects a PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch will do the trick even if log4j is already configured (in classes beyond my control). -------------------------------------------- * QUESTION 1: Is it OK to reconfigure log4j in this way ? -------------------------------------------- This technique isn't working under OpenEJB because log4j can't find the config file a second time around when configured with the same URL 'file:conf/logging.conf' OR with a URL to the absolute file path 'file:///C|/openejb-0.8.3/conf/logging.conf'. Switching on -Dlog4j.debug gives me... log4j: [file:///C|/openejb-0.8.3/conf/logging.conf] does not exist. I vaguely understand that the EJB container may have a different class loader or context although I don't believe this to be the case with version 0.8.3 OpenEJB. -------------------------------------------- * QUESTION 2: Why doesn't log4j like my config file URLs? They look logical to me :) - are they broken? -------------------------------------------- Thanks for enduring my queries :), Michael. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
