Hi there,
we are using Tomcat 5.5.4 with log4j 1.2.7. Up to now we used a log4j
property-file with the key-value property-syntax.
Now we have to use the nice filter-feature of log4j and so I have
switched to the xml-variant of log4j properties.
So far it works fine. We get all loggers writing to our appenders, the
filters are working (even our self-written) etc. etc.
So, why am I writing to this list?
When we used the key-value-type property-file, Tomcat reloaded that file
after some time (I think after about 1 minute).
After I have changed to the xml-type property-file, the properties are
no longer reloaded. Up to now we could change
the log-levels of our loggers without restarting our servlet-engine
(which is quite important). With the xml-file it seems
that we have to restart the engine to make it load the new log4j
configuration.
I would like to have the xml-configuration file being reloaded similar
to the former key-value-configuration file. How do
I set this up?
So far I see only one solution: writing my own filter which is working
similar to the LevelRangeFilter but doesn't take
its min- and max-Level by configuration-params but from another
key-value property-file which is reloaded automatically
after some time.
Should I do this or is there a simpler solution for my problem?
Thank your for any help in advance!
