John, This was the solution that I came up with to be able to load a configuration file that was not on the class path. I have since had to update the code to work correctly with a NetBeans RCP application. If I understand you correctly this solution will not work for you because you don't want a configuration file at all while I did want a configuration file but I wanted the file hidden within the project and not modified afterwards.

The FAQ on this "How do I configure log4j2 in code without a configuration file?<http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/faq.html#config_from_code>" is rather unclear, as it suggests using a method that takes a file name. Shouldn't it suggest the one that takes a ConfigurationSource? I recently found this: InputStream is = MyLogFactory.class.getResourceAsStream("log4j2.xml"); ConfigurationSource source = new ConfigurationSource(is); Configurator.initialize(MyLogFactory.class.getClassLoader(), source); Is this the proper technique to use in this case? ________________________________ Confidentiality notice: This message may contain confidential information.
