Yeah, I was thinking that too. The current behavior could stay as is, but a setting could be in the configuration file for a new "reset" behavior. >Doesn't calling Category.resetConfiguration do trick? What else do you need? The documentation for resetConfiguration() suggests that it should be used sparingly since it blocks all logging calls until it is completed. The patch I am looking at will only block logging calls on the Category while it is being reset; all other logging calls can proceed normally. The trick is keeping track of the cateogory objects that have been created/affected by the configuration file and resetting the others. I'll post a patch tomorrow and you can evaluate. If nothing else, it always fallback to resetConfiguration(). thanks, -Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
