How to add log4j.xml to RAP-Application classpath [message #135494]

Hello,

I want to use log4j in my RAP application. The plugin that contains the
log4j libs provides factories for creating logger instances. These loggers
are used in other plugins. I can put a log4j.xml in the classpath of this
plugin - this works fine. But this plugin is used in an other application,
too. So I have to use an external log4j.xml-file.

In a RCP-application I use an entry for declaring the path to the
log4j.xml:
log4j.configuration=file:configuration/log4j.xml

The configuration directory contains the log4j.xml and so its easy to
change the configuration before starting the application.

If I add that entry to the config.ini of the RAP-application this
parameter is not passed to the jvm. I tried to declare it in the
launch.ini, too.

What is the best way to bind an external log4j configuration file?

best regards,

p-lex

p-lex,

did you search the Equinox newsgroup for an answer? Several log4j
issues have been discussed there.

If you just need a replacement RCP way of specifying the
configuration, then search the web for "log4j.configuration web.xml".
