Paul, We need to do a review of all the o.a.log4j.net changes. I think we should coordinate an "official" review so we can start to move the changes into the core.
A threshold setting on receivers has been suggested previously. I'll see about adding it later today. If you want to look at it before then, please have no hesitation about checking a modified version into the sandbox. I'm starting to think that checking modified versions of the core classes into the sandbox is a nice way to explore changes and allow others to comment and make changes. So, I was going to check my modified version there anyway. We could add a specific "pause" functionality for plugins. I haven't thought that through completely though. Just stopping and re-starting the plugin wouldn't be sufficient? BTW, I think your idea for the receiver dialog box is most excellent. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 9:20 PM > To: Log4j-Dev (E-mail) > Subject: Receivers & Chainsaw > > > Hi Mark & Ceki(& everyone else), > > I've started checking some mods to SocketReceiver into the > sandbox.
