Log4j.xml
From Plex-XML
Apache log4j is a Java-based logging utility. It is also used by the Tomcat Server.
You are able to adjust the level for each logger to your needs. With an Ant variable you are able to define a different log level for e.g. development and production.
Be sure to set the right log level for production environments because intensive logging can be very time consuming.
Your project specific log4j.xml file in your Eclipse project is at:
../deployment/log4j.xml
General logger configuration
<logger name="org.apache"> <level value="WARN"/> </logger>
