URL doesn't, but URLConnection does. In the case of http it's part of the headers, so you'd have to re-establish the connection each time you want to check. That's a lot of overhead, but may be worth it. -Jim Moore -----Original Message----- From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 5:50 PM To: LOG4J Users Mailing List Subject: Re: desire PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(URL) method At 12:47 01.02.2001 -0800, you wrote: >Since PropertyConfiguator class >(http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/javadoc/org/apache/log4j/PropertyConfigura t >or.html) has: >public static void configure(URL ><http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/net/URL.html> configURL) > >it would be nice to have a version of configureAndWatch that takes a URL. The File class offers the lastModified method which makes it easy to check if a file has changed. URL don't offer a method to check if they have changed. Thus it is not possible to implement the variant you are asking for.
