Jeremy and Ceki, Looking at the code, the close() method seems to do what I thought it should do. Jeremy, could you describe your setup, and what would (or should) be triggering a closing of the appender?
Is it because the VM is exiting without a proper Log4j shutdown and relying on the finalize being called by the vm (which frankly I have less and less faith in finalize in VM's, they should rename the method crossYourFingersFinalize()). This does make me ask myself whether Log4j could add itself as a shutdown hook, but I think that is 1.3 specific isn't it? If so, perhaps this would be a candidate for some sort of dynamic/reflective magic on detection of 1.3 to use this feature for tidying up since it's pretty useful and avoid a compile time dependancy on 1.3 cheers, Paul Smith > -----Original Message----- > From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, 22 July 2003 8:49 AM > To: Log4J Developers List > Subject: Re: HtmlLayout not closing the table > > > > This problem has been mentioned before.
