Hi Ceki, Thank you for your response. I'll snip your e-mail, since you've already posted the original to this list.

I'm not sure I understand the last part, unless you are saying all loggers should be static and created during class loading? The interceptor technology within JBoss means the switching of repository on method calls can be optionally configured by the deployer for applications that need it, i.e. loggers created within the business methods. I'll have to think about this some more. What about Loggers created in the constructor when preloading a pool or deserialization code for objects sent over the wire? The static final Logger, is the most likely for enterprise beans. All static fields have to be read-only in the spec, and it doesn't really form part of the bean's state. Re: Configuration This is a grey area to me. My only thought is that the deployer chooses the repositories. They may choose: A) to run everything using the JBoss repository i.e. as now B) one repository per application C) have just two repositories one for JBoss and one for applications D) a mixture of the above Re: Category -> Logger One question I missed from my original e-mail but I made an assumption. The new processing will only work with the Logger class, not Category. I've started going through the JBoss code removing direct references to Category in preparation for cutover to 1.2. We have a Logger class that extends Category at the moment. I hope I understand the rest. Thanks again.
