Re: [Webwork-devel] loading log4j.properties

[Mike Cannon-B. <boo...@ya...>]

Matt,

I brought this up a while ago because I have a
different issue. I always use xml configuration files
in log4j (easier to manipulate, generate etc) and
there's no way to do that. 

What I'd suggest is abstract the log loading into
separate class that's easily extendable. The default
behaviour as below is good, and also if log4j is
already configured it should not touch it at all. (I
configure logging at the EAR level).
