You might want to look into some of the Log4j config web interfaces out there. Whether you configured Log4j initially via properties or not, Log4j exposes its API to you. So, you can programmatically modify settings. See the third party utilities listed on Log4j download page...
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html
A couple that pop out there are Log4web and Logweb, though I am not endorsing either. Just pointing them out as possible options. There is also a basic configuration servlet in the log4j-sandbox you might try.
