Avoid configureAndWatch() in a J2EE environment.  Instead use something like
LogWeb...

Different encoding in SMTPAppender

2005-10-12 Thread Tobias Meyer
Hello List,

Is there any way to tell SMTPAppender to use another encoding instead of the
system default for emails?
The "encoding" parameter is not implemented in SMTPAppender, neither is
"charset".

By taking a look at the source, it seemed to me that I would have to either
use a filter that does the encoding, or use a DataContentHandler, but those
two paths don't look very appealing to me.

Isn't there any default way of doing this?

Thanks for any insights,
Tobias

changing log4J configuration during run time

2005-10-12 Thread Deep Chand
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(, )
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?

Thanks
Deep

Use of NDC with Log4J

2005-10-12 Thread Deep Chand
Hi,

Are there any examples/documentation with examples on how to use NDC
with log4J? I read the introduction to Log4J on apache.org but didn't
find it very useful.

Thanks
Deep
