Maybe it could be part of the library. > The idea is to allow a series of property keys to be specified. If one of the > properties is present, then it is used.

For example: > {code} > <Logger name="com.myapp.dao" > level="${sys:myapp.log.level|myapp.log.level.dao|warn}"/> > <Logger name="com.myapp.service" > level="${sys:myapp.log.level|myapp.log.level.service|warn}"/> > <Logger name="com.myapp.controller" > level="${sys:myapp.log.level|myapp.log.level.controller|warn}"/> > {code} > This allows me to quickly rerun the app with different log levels without > fiddling with the configuration file or JConsole. Defaults represent > production settings, so that nothing extra needs to be specified to run the > app. > This work nice in other places as well: > {code} > <PatternLayout disableAnsi="${sys:myapp.log.nocolor|true}"> > {code} > Disables colors by default (for production build), but leaves an easy way to > turn them on for development. > When no pipes are present in the expression, then the standard property > lookup is used, so the change is backwards-compatible. > Can be a separate lookup if needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
