setting log4j properties at runtime

807600Jun 12 2007 — edited Jun 13 2007

Hi,

I am using log4j and want to take the logfile name as a command line argument.

Can anyone help as to how to set the properties which are done statically in log4j.propreties file....

I tried

logProperties.setProperty("log4j.appender.ROOT", "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender");
logProperties.setProperty("log4j.appender.ROOT.File", fileName);
logProperties.setProperty("og4j.appender.ROOT.layout", "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout");
logProperties.setProperty("log4j.appender.ROOT.layout.ConversionPattern", "%d{ISO8601} - <<<<< [%F][%M] %m >>>>>%n");

but that doesnot seem to work...as the log file itself is not created.

ANyone help is appreciated...
