Or did I miss understand this functionality?? Personally I feel the new log4j 1.3 features that make it easier for each application to have it's xml config file in the .war / .ear so that apps can have their own (separate) log files from each other to be a very useful choice. My view of the problem of deploying and supporting a j2ee app is the few features j2ee put in the spec (a big zero) to allow debugging and logging of app, feature, bean operations. I feel we need to drill on the debugging problem until we have a facility that supports logging based on session ID, so that we can follow a particular user's actions and failures across a cluster and set of services. To me, moving to one log file for the universe is the wrong direction? Any opinions? curt
