I would tend to have a minimal log4j.xml containing basic configuration for the root logger, which I usually set to "WARN" to avoid being bombarded with annoying messages from libraries I don't care about.  However, there is no necessity to have a log4j.xml (or log4j.properties).  Log4j can be configured via config file or programmatically (or both), but if Log4j can't find any config file, it will say as much in System.err, which I generally try to avoid.

All the other stuff can be configured programmatically as Bender suggested.

Yes. I am responding to your suggestion.

The setup performance is not very important. The runtime performance though
is. If I setup everything programmatically log4j.xml is not at all needed ?
