Re: Log4J vs. java.util.logging

2003-10-24 Thread TBEE
Let me, as a log4j user, give my 2 cents. I looked at the Java 1.4 logging classes and decided they were inferior to log4j. Since log4j is an external JAR, it will not only be available in JDK1.4 but also in 1.5, ... and you can already use them in 1.3. So log4j is the way to go. Tom Matthias

Interesting idea, my compliments, I'll save your code... But when I start thinking about it, I'm not sure where I'm going to end up if I started using this approach. If every application would have an FTP server running to configure log4j, I would quickly die managing the FTP ports. The final

Just making sure: note that these are system properties, not environment variables. You need to use "-D" when starting java to transport individual environment variables to the system properties. Quoting Ceki Gülcü <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > As Alison Ortega mentioned, log4j configurators support

log4j.debug

Okay, here is something interesting. I mentioned my problems with log4j.debug before, but had to reinstall my laptop (Oracle and Informix were getting in each others hair) and before I was back at this point... Anyway. Sometimes when I set the log4j.debug log4j is not debugging, but I do get log

Log4J servlet

2003-12-18 Thread Tbee
Maybe someone is interested. Since I had all these problems with the autoconfig, I wrote a servlet to solve that. The servlet does the following: - searches for log4j.properties in web-inf/classes if it doesn't find it, it reverts to autoconfig - it has a own worker thread for checking changes
