> Each update action from the LogManagerPortlet invokes the appropriate 3 
> methods on the SystemLog without checking for actual changes in the submitted 
> values.   For the refresh interval this isn't a problem because Log4JService 
> checks itself to ensure the period has changed before updating the value.  
> For the logging level this also isn't a problem because there is no ill 
> effect to updating the level with the exact same level.   However, when 
> setting the ConfigFileName the Log4JService doesn't check the value and 
> assumes that there really is a new file and therefore sets the lastChanged 
> value to -1 to ensure that the file values will take effect on the next timer 
> refresh.  The result is that any change (including only a change to the 
> logging level) from the console also guarantees that the file settings will 
> be refreshed. 
> I propose the following:
> 1) Change the LogManagerPortlet to ensure that the name or level has changed 
> before updating the SystemLog (Log4JService) ... I'd also ensure that we 
> check for changes in the refresh period as well just for good measure.  This 
> way we won't was time setting things that haven't changed.
> 2) Change the Log4JService to always check for an actual change to the level 
> and/or the configPathName before taking any real action (just as it does for 
> refresh interval today).  This will clean things up so that another object 
> invoking this service unnecessarily doesn't create a similar problem.
