large scale log4j configuration

["Lu, David" <dl...@tiaa-cref.org>]

Hi everyone,

Where do most people put their configuration files in a multi-ear, multi-war
and multi-jar environment?
I see several cons of putting each configuration file within each jar (as
opposed to the system cp).

1. For my webapp, I have a security.jar file which uses log4j.  This
security.jar is in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my webapp.
When the application is deployed, log4j complains that there are no
appenders defined for a logger used in security.jar.
However, if I place the configuration file in the system CP, everything is
fine.

2. If the configuration file is placed inside each application's jar,
doesn't this make for management headaches, say, if I want to do a change
configuration on the fly but don't have access into each jar file to get at
the configuration file?

Thanks for reading.

David
