Can we make change to log4j while JBoss is running?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • If we make changes to jboss-log4j.xml, will JBoss pick them up automatically or do we need to restart the server?
  • We accidentally deleted the server.log. We created a new server.log hoping that JBoss would start writing to it but, it does not. Is there any way (without re-starting JBoss) to force JBoss to "pickup" and start writing out to the newly created server.log?
