/**
* Convenience class that performs custom log4j initialization for web environments,
* allowing for log file paths within the web application, with the option to
* perform automatic refresh checks (for runtime changes in logging configuration).
*
* <p><b>WARNING: Assumes an expanded WAR file</b>, both for loading the configuration
* file and for writing the log files. If you want to keep your WAR unexpanded or
* don't need application-specific log files within the WAR directory, don't use
* log4j setup within the application (thus, don't use Log4jConfigListener or
* Log4jConfigServlet). Instead, use a global, VM-wide log4j setup (for example,
* in JBoss) or JDK 1.4's <code>java.util.logging</code> (which is global too).
*
* <p>Supports three init parameters at the servlet context level (that is,
* context-param entries in web.xml):
*
* <ul>
* <li><i>"log4jConfigLocation":</i><br>
* Location of the log4j config file; either a "classpath:" location (e.g.
* "classpath:myLog4j.properties"), an absolute file URL (e.g. "file:C:/log4j.properties),
* or a plain path relative to the web application root directory (e.g.
* "/WEB-INF/log4j.properties"). If not specified, default log4j initialization
* will apply ("log4j.properties" or "log4j.xml" in the class path; see the
* log4j documentation for details).
* <li><i>"log4jRefreshInterval":</i><br>
* Interval between config file refresh checks, in milliseconds. If not specified,
* no refresh checks will happen, which avoids starting log4j's watchdog thread.
* <li><i>"log4jExposeWebAppRoot":</i><br>
* Whether the web app root system property should be exposed, allowing for log
* file paths relative to the web application root directory. Default is "true";
* specify "false" to suppress expose of the web app root system property. See
* below for details on how to use this system property in log file locations.
* </ul>
*
* <p>Note: <code>initLogging</code> should be called before any other Spring activity
* (when using log4j), for proper initialization before any Spring logging attempts.
*
* <p>Log4j's watchdog thread will asynchronously check whether the timestamp
* of the config file has changed, using the given interval between checks.
* A refresh interval of 1000 milliseconds (one second), which allows to
* do on-demand log level changes with immediate effect, is not unfeasible.
* <p><b>WARNING:</b> Log4j's watchdog thread does not terminate until VM shutdown;
* in particular, it does not terminate on LogManager shutdown. Therefore, it is
* recommended to <i>not</i> use config file refreshing in a production J2EE
* environment; the watchdog thread would not stop on application shutdown there.
*
* <p>By default, this configurer automatically sets the web app root system property,
* for "${key}" substitutions within log file locations in the log4j config file,
* allowing for log file paths relative to the web application root directory.
* The default system property key is "webapp.root", to be used in a log4j config
* file like as follows:
*
* <p><code>log4j.appender.myfile.File=${webapp.root}/WEB-INF/demo.log</code>
*
* <p>Alternatively, specify a unique context-param "webAppRootKey" per web application.
* For example, with "webAppRootKey = "demo.root":
*
* <p><code>log4j.appender.myfile.File=${demo.root}/WEB-INF/demo.log</code>
*
* <p><b>WARNING:</b> Some containers (like Tomcat) do <i>not</i> keep system properties
* separate per web app. You have to use unique "webAppRootKey" context-params per web
* app then, to avoid clashes. Other containers like Resin do isolate each web app's
* system properties: Here you can use the default key (i.e. no "webAppRootKey"
* context-param at all) without worrying.
