Mark - thanks for all your help. It turns out that the original code I had was good, but I was picking up a beta log4j jar file and that was causing the problem. Once I switched to the real 1.2 jar everything worked great.

Where does your log4j jar live? In the application classpath or the container classpath? Also, I think the activateOptions() and cleanUp() methods might be called by add/removeAppender, and may not be needed in your code. Might want to look at the source to see. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesse Vitrone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 1:02 PM > To: Log4J Users List > Subject: RE: adding / removing appenders dynamically > > > hmmm....seems that what I'm doing isn't really taking effect. > > If I start with the socket appender getting started at startup: > I check and it's there > I remove it > I check and it's gone > I do something that requires logging > it gets to Lumbermill > I check and the socket appender is back! > > If I start with out the socket appender: > I check and it's not there > I add it > I check and it's there > I do something that requires logging > it doesn't get to Lumbermill > I check and the socket appender isn't there anymore! > > Any idea what's going on?
