Need help with initialisation of log4j

[Chien Wei Tan <Ch...@calytrix.com>]

Hi,

Sorry, if this problem has already been raised before, if so, could someone
direct me please?

I am trying to become familiar with using log4j, and I am stuck with the
initialisation algorithm (mentioned in the log4j manual).

Particulary, how do i use the "log4j.configuration" system property? (how to
use the default value log4j.properties - where is log4j.properties actually
located, and could i also use some other xxx.properties)

Could someone possibly provide a detailed step-by-step description for how
to use it?


cheers,
cw

The log4j.properties should be somewhere in your classpath.  If you want
to use a filename different from log4j.properties, define that value in
the log4j.configuration property.

Beware of bugs in the above code.  I have
only proved it correct, not tried it.

RE: How to configure log4j with .properties file

[Thomas Tuft Muller <tt...@online.no>]

Yes, the PropertyConfigurator is meant to read from a properties file-URL
(default is log4j.properties), whilst the DOMConfigurator reads from an XML
file (default log4j.xml).

Hope this helps
