Log4j GBeans
Our current log4j gbeans attempt to control the creation of log objects, priories... basically the log4j configuration. The problem I have found is any application can come along and "reset" the current log4j configuration and reinitialize the system. I do not believe there is any way to prevent this. It is on of those problems that everyone had control which in effect gives no one control.
I propose that we drop all of our gbeans that try to control Log4j and instead go to a single gbean that exposes the operations of LogManager, and a log4j.xml file (as a big string). The big string would be a persisted to somewhere like var/log4.xml.
I just committed this. We now have var/log/*-log4j.properties to control the server, client and deployer logs. I'd appreciate any feed back quickly, as we are going to (try to) cut M3 tomorrow afternoon.
