Hi, In log4J, if I change the configuration i.e. increase/decrease the level of a particular logger or add more appenders/categories in the config file, then do I have to restart the web server for that setting to take effect.
What I understand from the documentation is that if I use DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch(<configFileName>, <timeInMilliSec>) then I don't have to restart the server. Is this the only way to change the logging configuration during run time or there are some other ways also? If you use this method, then a thread is launched which continously monitors the config file changes. Is this technique has some serious performance overhead and therefore not preffered in production enviornment? What do people generally prefer - use this method OR simply use DOMConfigurator.configure(fileName) and restart the server after changing the config file?
