> Due to the way Windows handles the date modified attribute on copied or overwritten files log4j doesn't pick up the changes and doesn't reload the configuration.
> Example:
> The currently used log4j configuration file (date modified = 2pm) is replaced at 3pm by another configuration file (date modified= 1pm). Under Windows, the date modified of this file is now 1pm. This will not trigger log4j configuration to reload, since the new date is smaller than the original.
> Maybe changing
> {noformat}
> if (lastModfied > fileMonitor.lastModified) {
> {noformat}
> to
> {noformat}
> if (lastModfied != fileMonitor.lastModified) {
> {noformat}
> in in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.WatchManager.WatchWorker.run() could be an easy solution for this.
