How to redirect mongeez logging?

[Dmitriy Tserehman]

Hi,

I can see you're using log4j for logging messages. My questions is how can I add Appenders so I can redirect logging to some output file?

log4j.properties file is already a part of mongeez jar distribution, so it gets set on the classpath. But what if I want to overwrite its configuration? Do I somehow make sure my own log4j.properties file gets set on the classpath earlier so it takes precedence? Or do I use -Dlog4j.configuration property to override it? However, this property overriding mechanism does not seem to work in all cases. This does not seem to work if I try to use/call mongeez from gradle, and gradle already incorporates its own logging mechanism which seems to get in the way and does not let me override/get hold of logging inside of mongeez.

Thanks,

Dmitriy.

I think that the log4j.properties file in src/main/resources should be removed from the project.  Logging configuration is an application-level concern; each and every library an application uses shouldn't be fighting to use its own logging configuration.  If there's consensus on this, I'd be happy to put together a pull request.

Or yours is fine; not a big deal.  Whichever one isn't applied can be closed.
