JMX and Log4J

Tired of fighting with log4j.properties and restarting my application server,
giving also that I deeply dislike the idea of having a Thread dedicated to monitoring whether a log4j.properties file has changed or not, I decide to investigate in the intriguing connections between Log4J and JMX.


This seems a very authoritative article on the specific topic:

and this http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jmx.html a very general comprehensive coverage of JMX....

I run the Hello example, funnily using JRMC it doesn't work, while with JConsole it works. Interestingly, they recommend to run JConsole remotely, not locally.
