log4j.appender.configservlet=com.servoy.j2db.util.SlidingWindowAppender
log4j.appender.configservlet.layout=com.servoy.j2db.util.Log4JHTMLTableLayout
log4j.appender.configservlet.layout.dateTimeFormat=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm
log4j.appender.configservlet.threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.configservlet.windowSize=1000

The thing is if you are in a WAR setup then logging could be also controlled by the container…
