Hi Swamy Our recent change changeset: 810:6eac3829cb41 user: martin date: Tue Jan 27 15:04:30 2009 -0800 summary: 6797480: Remove synchronization bottleneck in logger unfortunately introduced a serious bug. Logger.log should call Logger.getHandlers(), not Logger.handlers, because getHandlers may be overriden in a subclass. Notably, the root logger is such a subclass with a non-trivial getHandlers method. Here's the obvious fix, with a regression test that includes "penance" for our having broken j.u.l. by adding some much-needed tests for never-before-exercised code. Please review and file a bug.
