Log4j配置文件的加载时机

问题：log4j.properties的加载时机
继续观察LogManager，找到其中的静态代码块static
在static代码块中，我们找到
Loader.getResource("log4j.properties");
这行代码给我们最大的一个提示信息就是
系统默认要从当前的类路径下找到log4j.properties
对于我们当前的项目是maven工程，那么理应在resources路径下去找

加载完毕后我们来观察配置文件是如何读取的？
继续观察LogManager
找到
OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(url, configuratorClassName, getLoggerRepository());
作为属性文件的加载，执行相应的properties配置对象：configurator = new PropertyConfigurator();

进入到PropertyConfigurator类中，观察到里面的常量信息
这些常量信息就是我们在properties属性文件中的各种属性配置项
其中，我们看到了如下两项信息，这两项信息是必须要进行配置的
static final String ROOT_LOGGER_PREFIX = "log4j.rootLogger";
static final String APPENDER_PREFIX = "log4j.appender.";

static {
        Hierarchy h = new Hierarchy(new RootLogger(Level.DEBUG));
        repositorySelector = new DefaultRepositorySelector(h);
        String override = OptionConverter.getSystemProperty("log4j.defaultInitOverride", (String)null);
        if (override != null && !"false".equalsIgnoreCase(override)) {
            LogLog.debug("Default initialization of overridden by log4j.defaultInitOverrideproperty.");
        } else {
            String configurationOptionStr = OptionConverter.getSystemProperty("log4j.configuration", (String)null);
            String configuratorClassName = OptionConverter.getSystemProperty("log4j.configuratorClass", (String)null);
            URL url = null;
            if (configurationOptionStr == null) {
                url = Loader.getResource("log4j.xml");
                if (url == null) {
                    url = Loader.getResource("log4j.properties");
                }
            } else {
                try {
                    url = new URL(configurationOptionStr);
                } catch (MalformedURLException var7) {
                    url = Loader.getResource(configurationOptionStr);
                }
            }

            if (url != null) {
                LogLog.debug("Using URL [" + url + "] for automatic log4j configuration.");

                try {
                    OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(url, configuratorClassName, getLoggerRepository());
                } catch (NoClassDefFoundError var6) {
                    LogLog.warn("Error during default initialization", var6);
                }
            } else {
                LogLog.debug("Could not find resource: [" + configurationOptionStr + "].");
            }
        }

public static void selectAndConfigure(URL url, String clazz, LoggerRepository hierarchy) {
        Configurator configurator = null;
        String filename = url.getFile();
        if (clazz == null && filename != null && filename.endsWith(".xml")) {
            clazz = "org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator";
        }

        if (clazz != null) {
            LogLog.debug("Preferred configurator class: " + clazz);
            configurator = (Configurator)instantiateByClassName(clazz, Configurator.class, (Object)null);
            if (configurator == null) {
                LogLog.error("Could not instantiate configurator [" + clazz + "].");
                return;
            }
        } else {
            configurator = new PropertyConfigurator();
        }

        ((Configurator)configurator).doConfigure(url, hierarchy);
    }
