[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-776) Using custom path and file name for log4j2 config file in EJB3

["A B (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-776?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14342215#comment-14342215 ] 

A B commented on LOG4J2-776:
----------------------------

One question though - according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16716556/how-to-specify-log4j-2-x-config-location - Remko Popma
has indicated this - Be aware that this class is not part of the public API so your code may break with any minor release. -  

So the question is - Can this be relied on to not break the code with version changes?

Thank you

> When using log4j ( 1.x ) with EJB, you could define / set / load the custom log4j configuration file and define the location of the configuration file by using the @Startup bean with @PostConstruct and then call PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jProp); to load the configuration where log4jProp would be the location AND filename for the config file 
> Since the above method is not valid in log4j2, what method / mechanism should be used to load a specific configuration in an EJB3 module?
> Also, how can I use an environment / system variable to define the configuration file name ( as done in Jira item 747 for log4j for a servlet )?
> Thank you,
