Dynamically change log4j.xml

[Mohit Anchlia]

Is there a way to dynamically change the logging level of log4j.xml in tomcat?

Not builtin.  But you can write some code in a servlet to change the  
logging level.  e.g.

   Logger l = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany");
   l.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

I wrote a pair of JSPs a long time ago to do this. It requires a 1.2.x
version of log4j, but you can change lots of stuff on the fly. See the
last entry on this page:
