When you have: private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(TheClass.class); The LOG instance is kept with the _class_ and not with the instance of the class, and hence will have no bearing on the GC'ing of the instance(s). Each instance does not hold onto refs of static vars, but has access to them when needed via it's Class instance. > I'm still not clear about this one.

I tweak the appenders of our App through a property file all the time, and it dynamically closes, creates a new appender and configures it without a server restart. I do this a lot. It's not a problem. Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
