Michael,
the problem with that approach is that you may run a while with incorrect
logging and without knowing it. I'd recommend you use the
ComponentStateValidator
class in org.apache.avalon.excalibur.util (found in scratchpad).
This gives you a fail-fast program and should make the error easily
traceable.
