I tried using
new PropertyConfigurator().doConfigure(properties, LogManager
.getLoggerRepository());
But still the configuration is not getting reflected !
Any idea?

Thanks Yair for the reply!
I have used property file only.
The thing is the property file is open and if someone edit it and restart the
java process he would be able to see all the DEBUG logs (which contains some
critical information)
I dont want this to happen so want to change at runtime (in code) the
configuration!

Why not use a regular property file?
Then when you to update the file you can load the changes automatically
using the "PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch" mechanism.

Changing log4j configuration runtime ...
Hello all,
I have successfully configured log4j in my standalone java application
using PropertyConfigurator.configure()
Here is the configuration file
log4j.rootLogger=DBUG, LogFile
log4j.logger.com.server.core=INFO
log4j.logger. com.server.core.SecurityManager =DEBUG
log4j.logger. com.server.core.SecurityPatternsCreator =DEBUG
log4j.appender.LogFile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.LogFile.File=c:/server.log
log4j.appender.LogFile.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.LogFile.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.LogFile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.LogFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{
MM dd HH:mm:ss:SSS}# [%-5p]# [%t]# %c# %C{1}.%M# %m%n
In case of my application I have a security related library
(securitylib.jar) in which there we do some is a critical security
related processing. And I want to set logging level of "INFO" to all the
classes/loggers from this jar.
The log4j configuration is done before loading securitylib.jar using
above configuration file.
When securitylib.jar is loaded I tried to re-configure log4j using
following code.
(what I have done here is removed all the explicit loggers set in
configuration file, updated the configuration properties and configured
logger again)
But when I test the system I am still able to see the DEBUG logs for
classes/loggers com.server.core.SecurityManager and
com.server.core.SecurityPatternsCreator (which I had marked as DEBUG in
config files)
My questions are ...
1. Why after reconfiguring the loggers the new configuration is
not getting reflected ?
2. Is there any way to get the current log4j configuration and
change it at runtime ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
