RE: XML Configurator Parameter List

[Ceki Gülcü]

Ok. Log4j uses the usual java introspection mechanism. So, property names 
are case sensitive except for the first letter.

So, for AsyncAppender,
  <param name="BufferSize" value="1"/>
  <param name="bufferSize" value="1"/>
will work, but not
  <param name="buffersize" value="1"/>
Does that clarify the matter?

Don't know if it matters, but I think I am correct. I just changed the

                <param name="bufferSize" value="1"/>
To
                <param name="buffersize" value="1"/>
and step into log4J to this routine:
  public
  void setProperty(String name, String value) {
    if (value == null) return;
    name = Introspector.decapitalize(name);
    PropertyDescriptor prop = getPropertyDescriptor(name);
    //LogLog.debug("---------Key: "+name+", type="+prop.getPropertyType());
    if (prop == null) {
      LogLog.warn("No such property [" + name + "] in "+
                  obj.getClass().getName()+"." );
    } else {
      try {
        setProperty(prop, name, value);
      } catch (PropertySetterException ex) {
        LogLog.warn("Failed to set property [" + name +
                    "] to value \"" + value + "\". ", ex.rootCause);
      }
    }
  }
and prop return null if bufferSize case is not correct.

Al, this is simply not true.
