Hi:
Thanks for the reply. In general, I noticed some undesirable effects
of using the default configuration when no configuration file is
provided:
a) it defaults to debug level when no configuration is done
b) it emits warning messages to the console
I don't know the intent and purpose for the above, but I am sure
there's some good reason. For my use case, it does not fit the needs.
Hence, I am trying to use the approach of using an internal
.properties file used to explicitly configure log4j. But, I would not
like to do this till I am sure users of my library have not configured
log4j.
I saw the snippet of code to detect if log4j is configured in
http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/Log4JProjectPages/UsefulCode
Thanks for the link. Is the code above the only reliable way to
detect if log4j (1.2.8) is configured?
Have other users tried this approach?
Regards
-Somesh

Since you are writing a library, you have to be aware of what log4j
does by default if nobody does any configuration at all. Here a
message thread that discusses it:
