Ceki, I see in the code comments for shutdown() that it closes the appenders so that pending log message will not be lost, which is good. But what about the time between the return from the resetConfiguration() method and the time the logger would reconfigured in the configurator? Couldn't logging messages be lost in this in between time? I must be missing something.
And yes, whatever implementation is decided as best, I will add the behavior in the way you have mentioned. I'll submit something after 1.2 is released. Is there a time table for the 1.2 release? thanks, -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Ceki G�lc� [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 1:45 AM To: Log4J Developers List Subject: RE: [CODE] Resetting Loggers during Configuration Mark, I see the question. Although not documented properly, the Hierarchy.resetConfiguration method performs a *shutdown* during the reset. I hope this clarifies the issue. If it does not just let me know and I'll try to do better. Regards, Ceki ps: The approach I would suggest is simply to add a "reset" attribute in the <log4j:configuration> element such that if present the configurator would call Hierarchy.resetConfiguration. In a similar vein, a log4j.reset key should be added to PropertyConfigurator. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
