settings log4j settings programmatically
The application I work on currently uses Log4j, we at startup, we do this:
* read in xml file with log4j settings (similar to log4j.properties, but this xml has environment dependant settings).
* use our framework to parse the XML and return a Properties object with the right settings for that environment.
* call PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
I'm trying to use Axis 1.4, which uses Commons Logging and I'm trying turn on debugging for org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender. I'm not seeing the Axis logging when I add org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender into our config file.
I believe I'm having trouble because we are manually configuring Log4j, and Commons Logging isn't finding a log4j.properties file (since we don't use one). Is there a way to programmatically configure Commons Logging so that when Axis uses Commons Logging which uses Log4j, it gets our config?
Thanks in advance.

Just write a wrapper for your framework. Implement o.a.c.l.Log that
delegates to your loggers and configure this as the logger implementation
to use: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/guide.html#Configuration
With LogFactory.releaseAll you might even "reinitialize" the JCL.

No, I'm afraid not. Commons logging has its own configuration, but it
does not try to pass any configuration on to the underlying logging
implementation (log4j in your case).

Jörg's idea is the way to go if you want to make changes in commons
logging. But I still think it would be a better solution to make your
current configuration reader/handler work seamlessly with log4j. If you
can manage that then commons logging will just work.

Well, I guess the issue is that when we use log4j, we manually configure it, but when Commons uses log4j, it hasn't been manually configured by us, so I was wondering if there was a way for Commons Logging to pass our manual configs on to Log4j when Commons initializes it.
I'm going to look into the wrapper like Jörg suggested. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Commons logging does not try to find configuration files for log4j. That
job is left to log4j to do. So I guess asking on one of the mailing
lists for logging.apache.org would give you better results.
From what I can tell by your description the question you want to ask
them is "How can we make a custom configuration handler for log4j?"

Commons logging does not try to find configuration files for log4j. That
