What we now have in ServiceMix (thanks to Thomas) is something
that could be done in ActiveMQ as well. This is a small service
than you can configure and which expose a simple bean from JMX.
This mbean can be used to configure a timer and activate / deactivate
it so that the log4j configuration is reloaded. You can also manually
call an update if you have changed the configuration.
Note that this does not actually allow to change the log level using JMX,
as you still have to change the log4j configuration file.

This already offered via Log4J configuration. See conf/log4j.properties.

This isn't done currently but could easily be refactored to utilize
the Log4J DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch() method.
