Hi Henrik,
Try;
DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch(YourClass.class.getResource(xml/log4j.xml));
for log4j.xml
Or
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(YourPropertyFile);
for log4j.properties
Is there a way that I can get the filename and absolute path for the
file used to configure
Howdy,
If you used a classpath-discovery-based mechanism for configuring log4j,
you can do this:

out if it came from a jar and if so which jar. But that's a partial
solution at best ;(

I agree that this would be a helpful way to determine what log4j config
file log4j uses (.properties or .xml). However I have found my problem in
figuring out which config file to be even a bit more complex than which
file since I am usually loading log4j.xml form jar files it is always in
the
