> Project: Roller
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration & Settings

> Fix For: 4.0

> With 4.0 we are almost able to configure Roller entirely without modifying the contents of the Roller WAR, but there is one significant "hole" and that is log4j.properties.
> First, we've got the string ${catalina.home} hardcoded into log4j.properties. Log4j expands that using the catalina.home system property, but that is not available on other app servers. To change that you have to bust open the WAR and modify log4.properties.
> Second, if a users needs to adjust logging levels they also have to bust open the WAR.
> We can solve these problems very easily by adding the Log4j properties to roller.properties. That way, folks can use roller-custom.properties to configure Log4j. At startup time we pull the Log4j from RollerConfig (so they get the roller-custom.properties override values) and then feed them to Log4j PropertiesConfigurator.configure() method.
