Updating configuration files across multiple Java VM's

[Balaraman Sujatha <su...@cisco.com>]

Hi,

I have  multiple VM's running log4j. So, if I do a 
PropertyConfigurator.ConfigureandWatch on one VM, is there any way that the 
log4j messages (i.e) the category messages on the other VM's will see this 
new configuration file, or do they need to be done on a per VM level ? Can 
you please clarify ?

I do understand that if the PropertyConfigurator.ConfigureandWatch is set 
on a root category, then all it's child categories will inherit this new 
configuration file change, but will this work, even if the child categories 
are in different VM's ?


Thanks.
Sujatha.

There is no sharing of log4j configuration settings across JVMs.

See my previous answer. Hope this clarifies the issue. Ceki
