After having looked more into it, i believe i need to clarify my earlier question. I would like to start chainsaw via webStart and each time it is launched it has to use another 'plugin-config' file. So it is not the log4j.configuration (which describes the logging of chainsaw itself) that is changing. In the chainsaw code i noticed that this 'plugin-config' file is specified as a property named configurationURL in the file chainsaw.settings.properties.
My requirement would be met if this property could be set as a System Property in e.g. the .JNLP file (e.g. named log4j.chainsaw.pluginconfiguration?). This would require only a small change to the chainsaw code (reading the system property and if it is defined overwriting the value of configurationURL). Does this make sense? dirk > -----Original Message----- > From: OOMS DIRK > Sent: donderdag 24 februari 2005 18:43 > To: 'Log4J Users List' > Subject: RE: Specify chainsaw config file in webStart link > > > Scott, > > I tried out your below suggestion: adding <property > name="log4j.configuration" > value="http://myServer/myLog4jConfig.xml"; />to > the resources section of the .jnlp file, but it does not seem > to work (I > also tried it with "file:" and "ftp:").
