Source Code for Apache Log4j 1.2.17

Apache Log4j provides the interface that applications should code to and provides the adapter components required for implementers to create a logging implementation.

Bytecode (Java 1.4) for Apache Log4j is provided in a JAR file like log4j-1.2.17.jar.

Source Code files for Apache Log4j are provided in both binary packge like log4j-1.2.17.zip and source package like log4j-1.2.17-sources.zip. You can download them at Apache Log4j Website.

You can also browse Source Code files for Apache Log4j 1.2.17 below.

/**
   Use this class to initialize the log4j environment using a DOM tree.

   <p>The DTD is specified in <a
   href="doc-files/log4j.dtd"><b>log4j.dtd</b></a>.

   <p>Sometimes it is useful to see how log4j is reading configuration
   files. You can enable log4j internal logging by defining the
   <b>log4j.debug</b> variable on the java command
   line. Alternatively, set the <code>debug</code> attribute in the
   <code>log4j:configuration</code> element. As in
<pre>
   &lt;log4j:configuration <b>debug="true"</b> xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
   ...
   &lt;/log4j:configuration>
</pre>

   <p>There are sample XML files included in the package.
