Hi:
I am writing a Java based library for which I am using the log4j
package (version 1.2.8)
I am new to log4j. I am confused about the following points:
a) Are there any special things we need to worry about
configuration.
Currently, I am considering configuration from a properties file
using the PropertyConfigurator class when the library
initializes. I am planning to include a logging .properties file
within my .jar file for the library.
The case I am considering I when users (read as applications) of
my library may also be using log4j. I am not sure if I
use PropertyConfigurator class without resetting logging
configuration of a user in that case.
Specifically, I would like all loggers within my library to be at
least at the WARN level. Is there a way I can ensure that
even if I am writing a library.
b) For RollingFileAppender, is there a nice way to specify location
of log file without hard-coding the path. I am interested in knowing
what other library writers do in such cases.
Hope the user community can help me with these questions.
regards
Somesh Marepalli
