That might be true... however, i consider this a bit ugly. I think that BasicConfigurator (without looking into Log4js code) will get another singleton, creates a singleton of its own and puts itself into it. Or something like that. Its really a singleton-mania :-) I would prefer: Logger::setConfigurator( new BasicConfigurator()); Logger::setPropertyConfigurator( new PropertyConfigurator(), $myPropertyArray); for the above. This brings us more into the dependency injection thought. And we would get rid of all that static stuff. Its basically doing the same like you quoted above from the docs, but I think in a more clean way. Wdyt? Christian
