How to use FileWatchdog?

["Eric B." <eb...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Log4j 1.3alpha-8 watchdog for my XML configuration file,
but am having difficulties.

I've tried the following:
import org.apache.log4j.watchdog.*;
....
FileWatchdog confiFileWatchdog = new FileWatchdog();
configFileWatchdog.setFile( log4j.xml path );
configFileWatchdog.activateOptions();


But I get the following error message:
ERROR org.apache.log4j.watchdog.FileWatchdog - watchdog requires repository
that supports LoggerRepositoryEx


I'm not entirely sure how to create my loggers such that the repository
supports LoggerRepositoryEx.  Is there something special I need to do in the
log4j.xml file to accomplish this?  Are the watchdogs not yet supported?


If watchdogs are not yet fully supported, how can I programatically reload
my log4j.xml configuration file?

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks.  Sorry about the duplication - I wasn't sure which forum to post to, 
given some advice I had received about 1.3 being a product still under dev. 
I have moved my discussion and responses to log4j-user as well.

Thanks,

Eric

You posted a nearly identical message yesterday on log4j-user to  
which Kamal Ahmed gave what should have been a helpful response.   
log4j-user is the right forum for the question and we should keep the  
discussion there.  I'll post my comments there in response to your  
original message.
