Log4jConfigListener (Spring Framework 3.2.1.RELEASE API)
Date: 2013-01-24

org.springframework.web.util

## Class Log4jConfigListener

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    EventListener, ServletContextListener

      public class Log4jConfigListener
      extends Object
      implements ServletContextListener

  Bootstrap listener for custom log4j initialization in a web environment. Delegates to `Log4jWebConfigurer` (see its javadoc for configuration details). WARNING: Assumes an expanded WAR file, both for loading the configuration file and for writing the log files. If you want to keep your WAR unexpanded or don't need application-specific log files within the WAR directory, don't use log4j setup within the application (thus, don't use Log4jConfigListener or Log4jConfigServlet). Instead, use a global, VM-wide log4j setup (for example, in JBoss) or JDK 1.4's `java.util.logging` (which is global too).

  This listener should be registered before ContextLoaderListener in `web.xml` when using custom log4j initialization.
