Sorry to jump into this discussion, but I do have a suggestion:
Currently (in version 2.3), the log4j.properties are in the archive
xwiki-core-2.3.jar.
If I want to change the setting, I have to un-jar the archive, change
the log4j.properties, re-jar the archive, but it back in place and
restart the server.
I believe that this is quite a hazzle, esp. since XWiki logs even
INFO: In a production-environment you would not want this to create a
multi-MEG-file of logging-stuff.
So why not simply remove that log4j.properties from the jar-archive
and put it into WEB-INF/classes? That would make life a whole lot
easier for all of us.
Cheers
Gregor
