Wrong. This would be useful in ruling out the default initialization, and ruling in programmatic initialization, a significant debugging help. >really don't know anything about how that works, I could be wrong. But I Read the Short Manual's section on the default initialization. The Short Manual is on the log4j web site. >stepped >through the app from the first statement, which is a call to the ctor of an >'agent'.

That's fairly meaningless, since many things happen before your app's first statement is ever reached. Static initializers and a ton of container code runs first. >I figure I really have 2 options at this point, and both of them will be >useful. >I can download the source for log4j1.2.8 and step through what is actually >occurring.

But I You can go off the same system property log4j itself uses, it doesn't have to be a special flag.
