Dynamically changing logging level?

[talldean]

I deploy an application to servers using an EAR file. Most all of the documentation for changing the logging level involves modifying the XML, which in my case is a lengthy redeploy via EAR, which also restarts the server.

So, without changing the XML configuration files, how do you change the logging level?

My best guess at the moment is:

for each (log in LogManager.getCurrentLoggers())
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

Will try that out on monday.

How does the question relate to spring? You should check documentation of the logging framework you're using

Apologies; it's setup through applicationContext.xml in Spring, and can't be autorefreshed using the config setting, as that spawns a thread that never quite dies.

That said, since it was setup in Spring, I was hoping for some Spring-centric way of doing it. Sorry for the extraneous post!

Spring still doesn't relate to the question

Every logging framework I know offers programmatic configuration facility. So, you can just create a bean that is exposed to the client and allows to set given log level to the logger with the given name.
