Here is my log4j configuration for a HTTP client:
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR=com.xxx.log.FileAppender
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR.File=${user.dir}/log/access.log
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR_APPDR.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss SSS}ms %-5p [%t] - %m%n
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR.MaxFileSize=20000KB
log4j.appender.HTTPCLIENT_APPDR.MaxBackupIndex=30
log4j.logger.org.apache.http=DEBUG,HTTPCLIENT_APPDR
I would like it to turn off the httpclient
logging from the CODE depending on the environment I am in (I know how to disable it from the log4j.properties).
I tried inserting these lines:
+ System.setProperty("log4j.logger.org.apache.http", "ERROR");
or
+ Logger.getLogger("log4j.logger.org.apache.http").setLevel(Level.off)
in the start of my application but it does not work.
- Can I access the log4j properties from the System class?
- When I look at the
Logger.getLogger("log4j.logger.org.apache.http")
the level is null? Should it not be DEBUG?
What worked finally,
Logger.getLogger("org.apache.http").setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.OFF);
I was not using the right key.
