http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37768 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-12-04 17:37 ------- Why should each invocation result in the same behavior when each time you call it, you add a new ConsoleAppender (by calling BasicConfigurator.configure() once for reach pass which adds a new ConsoleAppender). Each console appender appends to the console. When you have one, you get one line, two, two lines, three, three lines, etc... A Log4j configuration is stored statically in memory and, as I explained before, configurations are additive; new configuration calls on the logger repository don't blow away the old ones, they just get added on. It's as if you had a config file that stated... <root> <level value="DEBUG"/> <appender-ref ref="Console"/> <appender-ref ref="Console"/> <appender-ref ref="Console"/> <!--....--> </root> Would you expect one line or multiple lines of output here? If you expect one, you need to modify your expectations. Or are you saying, "ok, I understand that, but I want Log4j to be smart about it." "I want BasicConfigurator to detect whether there is already a ConsoleAppender attached and, if so, use that one rather than adding a new one to the root logger." Fair enough, but I wouldn't consider this a bug. And I can guarantee that behavior won't change in the 1.2.xx series. It is possible that it might change in the 1.3.xx series. I suggest that you post to the user list asking about whether this sort of change in behavior is desired by other users and, if so, whether a majority of committers agree. If it is found that users and committers agree that behavior should be changed, then this report can be reopened. Patches for the necesssary changes will help move things along as well.
