How I can use single log4j for multiple modules?

Question

I have multiple java project and all are having separate log4j configuration. But i want to single log4j for all modules so that if there is a change in log4j then no need to update all log4j files. So if i put common properties in one file and modules specific properties in another file and at the run time i want to merge both files and create single log4j file.

My tip is not to do it. Usually logs are separated because they need to be , for multiple reasons:

• for easier getting around them after issue
• because they logically are meant to be separated since they cover different code
• tracking from which service did the issue come etc
