I would like to disable the long stack trace and internal error messages going to the System.out when file permissions on an appender's log file prevent it from being writeable. it looks like there is a static method in LogLog to allow this. my class has a static initialization block like this: static { LogLog.setQuietMode(true); } the compiler keeps complaining that the method doesn't exist, but i know that it does. please help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
