Looks like nobody cares about this. I'll respond with my results so far anyway. I've setup a component as: | @Name("configLogger") | @Scope(value = ScopeType.APPLICATION) | @Startup | public class ConfigLog4j { | | @Create | public void configureLogger() { | URL url = new URL("file:///log4j.xml"); | PropertyConfigurator.configure(url); | } | } | I've setup the log4j.xml that is packaged with the war to be priority value="INFO". I made the external log4j.xml set priority value="DEBUG". I'm expecting that after the above code is run, all of the logs should switch to DEBUG, but nothing is changing. Any help?
