Hi,
Can I change the log4j.properties file and expect the application to change
at runtime (i.e. w/o restarting the app)?
Thanks.
Samir

Hi,
Yes, it's possible and has always been, as it's a core log4j feature.  I
personally have a simple servlet that takes two string parameters, the
logger name and level, and does
Logger x = Logger.getLogger(request.getParameter("loggerName"));
x.setLevel(Level.toLevel(request.getParameter("loggingLevel")));
(I actually have a bit more error checking for null parameters, but the
above is the meat of it).

As for JMX, I think it's possible but haven't tried it.
