Hello all, As most of you have already know, log4j 1.1 has deprecated the following methods String[] getOptionStrings(); void setOption(String key, String value); defined the org.apache.log4j.spi.OptionHandler interface. This interface is implemented by most log4j appenders and layouts. In particular, all appenders and layouts shipped with log4j contain these deprecated methods. They have become totally redundant after we moved to JavaBeans style configuration. They make life more difficult for the component developer and hence will be removed in log4j version 1.2. I will gradually remove them from the code in our CVS repository. Log4j configurators will behave exactly as they did before. Thus, users will be totally oblivious to this change. Developers who have written their own appenders (or layouts) should also see their appender (or layout) work with log4j version 1.2. Best regards, ps: As a side effect, the nasty deprecation warnings will disappear. -- Ceki Gülcü - http://qos.ch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
