No, this does not mean that the configureAndWatch option does not work in the servlet/web application world. Jacob's Log4jInitServlet (you can search the archives for references) demonstrates that configureAndWatch can be used very effectively.
This servlet can be used to view the current configuration for a given web application. It can also be used to make quick changes to the configuration without requiring changes to the cofiguration file, etc. Right now it is limited to the set of loggers that have been created, but there is no reason why it cannot be enhanced to set the level for any desired logger. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Lutz Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 7:23 AM > To: 'Log4J Developers List' > Subject: RE: Log4jControlServlet > > > > > Pardon my lack of understanding, but does this mean that the > "configureAndWatch" option generally doesn't work in the > Servlet world? ... > or are you addressing something different here. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Luther Birdzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 9:29 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Log4jControlServlet > > > /** > * A servlet used to dynamically adjust package logging levels > * while an application is running.
