A question about log4j
Hi all,
I am not sure if my question is put in a right place. Hope there is someone who can give me some info.
I have a file called "mylog.log4j.properties" - not "log4j.properties". Normally I should put this file under WEB-INF and it will be packaged in to the WAR. But I want to put this logfile outside of the WAR so it will be easy to change its contents without open the WAR.
But I don't know where should I put this logfile so my web-application will write the logs into it. I've heard I have to configue the classpath, or I have to configure the web.xml. But how?

I think how you add a file external from your war file to your
container classpath depends on your container. You'll have to check
your container documentation.

Thomas,
If you just want to change logging levels then I have attached a jsp that
will allow this, I think there is a property that you can pass in like -
Dlog4j.config=/path/to/file or something like that.
