knowing if log4j has already been initialised

["O'Rourke, Frank" <F....@emuse-tech.com>]

Hi
Is there a way to test is the log4j engine has already been configured.  I
am using log4j in my application which is running in JBoss + Jetty.  I wish
to be able to configure log4j if it has not already been configured by the
environment that I am executing in.  I access log4j through my own Factory
with a "public static Category getInstance(String name)" method.

Thanks

You can either reset the Configurator but I would ot advise that solution.
Why don't you add your own factory a parameter where you can mention the
type of theAppender you wanna add ?

Smthg like :
public static Appender Factory.getAppender (Object, APPENDER_TYPE)
{
    // Make it singelton
    // ...
    switch (APPENDER_TYPE)
    {
    case NULL_APPENDER :
        return new NullAppender ();
    case STDOUT_APPENDER :
        return ...;
    case FILE_APPENDER :
        return ...;
    default :
        return NullAppender ();
    }
}
