log4j properties file bundled into jar in spark app is ignored

Question

I need to read a custom log4j.properties from src/resources and this is not working

try{
  val  inStream :InputStream= className.this.getClass.getClassLoader         


        

Answer 1

1. You can just give another name to your file (and using it in the code as well), so there is no conflict with conf/log4j.properties.

2. You can get all resources with the given name on the classpath using ClassLoader.getResources("log4j.properties") and choose which one you want.
