Assuming that you're using XMLConfigurator, you can use the following adjuration in your config file:
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/' debug="true" threshold="debug"> This will cause Log4j to issue log statements to System.out during initialization and at some other occasions (e.g. when files roll etc). Error messages will be dumped to System.err irrespective of debug set to true or not. All Log4j messages to System err/out are prefixed with 'LOG4j:' Hope this helps. -- Thomas | -----Original Message----- | From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: 10 June 2002 19:03 | To: Log4J Users List | Subject: Logging while initializing config file question... | | | | What does one do during configuration of Log4j?
