I have been all over the documentation and I can't find something that tells me succinctly what the DEFAULT behavior in regard to configuration reloading (PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch() or DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch()) is. My question assumes a non-J2EE java application.
Assuming that I do not call these methods from my code but simply drop a new log4j configuration file into its defined location in the file system, will the new configuration be picked up automatically, (in one minute, if I understand the javadocs correctly)? Or do I have to do something (coding or configuration) for this behavior to occur? If it doesn't happen automatically, instead of coding, is it possible to define through a log4j.* system property something that turns this behavior on? Also, while on the subject of log4j system properties, is there a list anywhere of all the log4j.* properties (such as log4j.debug) that log4j responds to when defined either as system properties or in the configuration file itself? Thank you. I really appreciate log4j but this information would be nice to have.
