Hi,
Currently, i could not find a way to use add multiple files as configuration
files for log4j. Here's why i needed the same:
- I have a 3rd party application which uses log4j and has its configurations
in log4j.xml
- I am integrating my application with the 3rd party application.
- My application also uses log4j and configures the same using say
myAppLog4j.xml.
- I could have added(appended) my configurations to the log4j.xml used by the
3rd party application
- But i would like to maintain both these configurations in 2 files.
- The way i tell log4j to configure using myAppLog4j.xml is by using:
PropertyConfigurator.configure(Loader.getResource("myAppLog4j.xml"));
Using this will make log4j configure *only* through myAppLog4j.xml. It would
be really great, if we could have a API, something like:
addConfiguration(String fileName);
or
addConfiguration(File file);
or maybe
addConfiguration(Resource configResource);
All these APIs would add the config file to a collection which will maintain
the configuration files.
Log4j could then maintain a collection of configuration files to use for
configuring log4j.
Is this possible? Or currently is there some way through which i can do the
same?
regards,
-Jaikiran
