So I can use a BasicConfigurator, or take your suggestion, an use a
log4j.properties and a PropertyConfigurator.
As a minimal working example, should the following work?
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class MyApp {
static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyApp.class.getName());
public static void main(String[] args) {
logger.info("Entering application.");
logger.info("Exiting application.");
}
}
