>> Does log4j reconfigure only if there is a change in the config file
Yes, the watch period only specifies how often to check for changes The main pitfall is non-terminated threads. Especially if you utilize hot-redeployment; when hot-redeploying, weblogic will not be able to terminate the thread started from the last deployment and it will run until you stop the server. Plus thread generation from within a j2ee container is dis-allowed by the j2ee spec. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
