Bruce Brouwer commented on LOG4J2-609:
--------------------------------------
Why is {{StatusConfiguration.configureExistingStatusConsoleListener}}
reconfiguring all {{StatusConsoleListener}}s? If I had multiple
{{LoggerContext}}s with different XML configurations, why should the newest
{{LoggerContext}} be modifying the listeners from other {{LoggerContext}}s? If
a {{LoggerContext}} is shutting down or being reconfigured, I would think it
should only mess around with the listeners that it had registered.
What I was thinking of doing was changing {{StatusConfiguration.initialize()}}
to return a {{StatusConsoleListener}}, which {{XMLConfiguration}} could store
in a field so that when {{XMLConfiguration.stop()}} or
{{XMLConfiguration.reconfigure()}} is called, it can unregister just its own
listener from the {{StatusLogger}}. Then it could add a new listener if
necessary, such as when calling {{reconfigure()}}. Or maybe it keeps the
{{StatusConfiguration}} object in a field instead and calls a new
{{StatusConfiguration.stop()}} method that unregisters whatever it registered.
I'm not an expert in here. Am I thinking about this correctly?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core

> Reporter: Bruce Brouwer
>
> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.status.StatusConfiguration}} allows
> you to specify a destination such as "out", "err" or a file name. If
> specifying a file, that file stream is used when creating a
> {{StatusConsoleListener}} that is added to the {{StatusLogger}}. Those
> {{StatusLogger}} listeners are never cleaned up when, for example, the
> {{XmlConfiguration}} is reconfigured or when the {{LoggerContext}} is shut
> down (e.g. in {{InitialLoggerContext.apply()}}). This leaves open file
> handles and is the source of the failing test {{FileOutputTest}} on Windows.
