Have you looked at the ConfigurationServlet in the logging-log4j-sandbox?
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/logging-log4j-sandbox/src/java/org/apache/log4j/servlet/ConfigurationServlet.java
You might want to verify whether your implementation provides all the
capabilities of the one above. If yours is more sophisticated, then it
might be a candidate for the sandbox. You might also think about patching
the existing ConfigurationServlet to provide it with the (assumed) enhanced
functionality that yours provides.
IMO, Some of this stuff might be better off being in a log4j-optional.jar
so that the core log4j.jar is kept to a minimal size with only core logging
functionality.

Hi folks, I've got a bit of a start on a servlet that allows dynamic
configuration changes
to log levels used by various Logger's. It already is quite useful for me
as it allows
changes to be made to a running/deployed web-app without restarting or
re-deploying.
If this was included in the log4j.jar it would be a simple matter of
adding the
appropriate servlet and servlet-mapping elements to the application's
web.xml to enable it
whenever necessary.
If there is any general interest in such a thing I'd be happy to clean it
up a bit more
and then post it to the dev list, but I thought I'd start here to see what
people might
think. If this already exists in some other form then I guess I've already
re-invented the
wheel.
Please let me know either way.
