Jason, This is something that I'm currently working on as well. This is not just for Log4J but for a whole series of "components" in a J2EE application which "logging" is just one piece. Basically, I defined a Java interface for "Refresh" that defines a "refresh()" method. All classes that want to can implement this interface and define their own "refresh()" method. Now I have a web page that displays the current settings including logging and changing these values and doing a system-wide "refresh" causes each of those classes within my packages to have their "refresh()" method called.
Is something like what you're thinking about? _________________________ Rob Mitchell Base Class Technologies, Inc.
