You may consider using Java 1.4's built-in logging mechanism instead. I don't think log4j has much of an advantage over the built-in logger, so I'm getting log4j out of all my code and switching entirely to the standard logger. Of course, this requires that you use java 1.4. If you have to stick with an older version for some reason you will have to use log4j. Java 1.4 has many improvements so it's worth switching if you can. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
