Alan,
The semantics of isConfigured() is far from being clear. What happens if a config file
has hundreds of lines containing just one mistake. The DOMConfigurator will emit a
warning about the erroneous line and happily configure log4j according to the rest
(correct) config file.
What should isConfigured() return in that case? Ceki
