Multiple calls to PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jURL)

I need to be able to reconfigure log4j after I have 
already called 
PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jURL).  We are 
runnning under an app server and want to be able to 
turn off and on different levels of debug, without 
having to change the configuration file and cycle 
the server.  Can't we just edit the config file and
call PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jURL) multiple

times?

Anyone have any other ideas we should try to
dynamically change logging levels?

Thanks
Bill.

RE: Multiple calls to PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jURL)

A similar question: How can i change the logging
behavior at runtime by calling some API instead of
changing the property file and let the watchdog
perform the reconfig? 

I want to have an admin interface through which i can
control the logging behavior. changing the property
file is not an option...for example, turning on and
off some category, change the format even ...

thanks

Bill,

Try the configureAndWatch() method defined for the Configurator classes,
instead of configure(). This should achieve what you want. However, there
was a bug in Log4J ver 0.9.1 that made usage of configureAndWatch()
error-prone and I have not played with this method since. Anyone know if it
has been fixed in 1.x.x and above ?

Anand
