runtime modification to log
hi,
would anyone know if it is possible to say, have your system running, and
changing your log priority from the configuration file, without stopping the
system.
eg. - system is running, and configuration file specifies logging at
priority INFO
- now, while system is running, can we change the configuration file to
specify logging at priority DEBUG
so that the log now prints messages from priority DEBUG upwards ???
any hint would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
chienwei

Other than cloning? ;)
I've updated the FAQ with four questions and answers:
- Why can't Log4J find my configuration file in a J2EE application?
- Can Log4J automatically reload my configuration files?
- (my stuff) Why do I get ugly messages from the NT Event Viewer when using
the NTEventLogAppender?
- Why can't the NT EventLogAppender dynamically change category messages?
If I see any other commonly-asked questions, I'll update the FAQ.
How about putting this in the header and footer of the mailing list
messages?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
- Questions? We have answers! Check the Log4J FAQ:
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/FAQ.html -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Hopefully that might cut down on some of the emails.

Hey Ceki,
Are you getting burned out on these questions? They seem to come in waves
(I've seen the "J2EE classloader problems" and "automatically reconfiguring
Log4J" come up at least twice a month)...

Re: runtime modification to log

Oh yeah I knew you could process configuration files as many times as
you want, but his problem would be knowing when the file has changed to
trigger the processing. I'm assuming he wants this automated so that
when he changes the configuration file the re-processing occurs
"automatically". That's where he faces problems.

Don,
You can process configuration files as many times as you want. Please see ProppertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch and DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch methods. Regards, Ceki

AFAIK, no. You only process the configuration file once. You *could*
programmatically change the priority of a category while the system is
running.
